What my body is telling me

A 5-step exercise to read your nervous system's signals again.

The body sends signals constantly: tension in the shoulders, pressure in the chest, a "something is off" you can't quite put into words.

When someone tells you often that you're overreacting, that you're crazy, that it's all in your head — those signals get hard to hear. Hard to trust.

This exercise helps you notice them again. It isn't meditation. There are no right answers. The body already knows — it just needs space to say it.

Step 1 · Free

Pause

Find a place where no one will interrupt you for a few minutes. Sit or lie down. Plant your feet on the ground if you can.

Breathe without trying to change anything. You don't need to breathe "properly". Just notice the air coming in and going out.

Notice that you are here, in your body, in this moment. Thirty seconds is enough to start.

What do you notice right now, before reaching for any answer?
Step 2

The body

A guided scan to notice where there's tension, where there's openness, where you feel nothing.

Step 3

The mind

The thoughts that show up — and the tone they show up in. Yours, or someone else's.

Step 4

The energy

Where your energy is: activated, collapsed, frozen, flowing. Each state makes sense.

Step 5

The signal

Naming what your nervous system is saying. Not "overreaction." Information.
