Keep Calm and Blessings Flow
After years of stress, I’ve had enough. It has done so much damage to my life, and I am tired of it. I prayed about it and talked to my spirit team (God, Jesus, Ancestors, Higher Self, Archangels, etc) to help me better understand what is happening. I was told that I literally can not flourish when my nervous system is out of whack. I can’t live in constant fight or flight mode. So, I questioned myself and thought, everything was okay before. Well, at least I thought it was. I realized that I am no longer in a season where that serves me. I have “woken” up and learned…

Well, I thought it was going smooth.
Day 3 It was an interesting day to say the least. I woke up in a good mood as usual. I was feeling great and decided to stay in my room to work on the computer. But then I felt something in my spirit and knew, uh oh, something is going on. I was right, I got some not-so-good family news. I didn’t freak out or stress; I just gave it to God and took a few deep breaths. The crazy thing is, since I ate too late last night, I decided I was going to fast for most of the day. I fasted until 3:30 pm because I lost…

So far so good
Day 2 I woke up feeling good. I was in a good mood too, which is always a plus. I did my journaling and praying, then I did my self-care. I had tater tots for breakfast. I know that is not that great, but hear me out! It is better to have carbs earlier in the day than later, right?! I did some stuff on the computer. Don’t get me started on the work I have had to do to repair my sism. I think my main Sims save is corrupted, and I am so sad about it. But, thankfully, I have another save that works just fine after all…

I’ve Had Enough
Day 1 I decided that enough is enough! I am done with feeling sick, sad, depressed, and all of these negative things. I no longer want to wake up in pain and already be worried about my day. I am done with that. I am choosing to change my life right here and right now. I woke up and prayed and actually invited in my spirit guides, arch angels, etc. I invited them to guide my mind, heart, words, and actions. I want this to be the last time I go through this, so I needed all hands on deck! I did my journaling and spoke some declarations over myself…

Day 7 – Prioritizing Sleep for My Nervous System
I’ve realized how much my nervous system needs real rest. Most nights, I’m up until 3, 4, sometimes even 5 AM, knowing I have to be up early the next morning. I can’t seem to naturally fall asleep unless I take melatonin or something for sleep. But I want to change that. I want my body to have the chance to reset, repair, and restore itself. Poor sleep makes me feel on edge, more stressed, and less able to handle life’s challenges, and I know my nervous system deserves better. So for today, my goal is to be in bed and asleep before 11 PM and sleep through the night.…

Day 6 – Focusing on Gratitude
Today, I wanted to slow down and reconnect with God and with myself. I put on worship music, let my voice flow, and really focused on gratitude, for my body, for my breath, for every little thing I can do. I spoke directly to my body, reminding it that it is safe, cared for, and loved. I reminded myself that God lives within me, so I am never disconnected, even in moments of stress or fear. I could feel my nervous system calming. Gratitude shifts the brain into a state of safety, which lowers stress hormones and helps the body rest and repair. Praising and connecting with Spirit also deepens…

Day 5 – Increasing Water Intake & Supplements
Today, I focused on hydration and giving my body the nutrients it needs to support healing. I made a conscious effort to drink more water throughout the day. I kept a bottle nearby, and I was refilling often. Along with that, I took my daily supplements, which I’ve been building into my routine to support not just my nervous system, but my overall health. I went online and made sure that all of the supplements were compatible, and I made sure to look at the best times to take them. My Supplement Routine Morning: Before or after lunch: Afternoon: Bedtime: Alternating days: Benefits for the Nervous System Today reminded me…

Day 4 – Exploring Eastern Medicine Movements
Today I started looking into Eastern medicine practices that could support my nervous system, specifically movement-based ones. Things like Tai Chi, Qigong, and certain styles of yoga focus on slow, intentional movements that flow with the breath. Doing anything slow is hard for me. I have always been a fast-paced person. But, since I have had to deal with health issues like PCOS, POTS, and Fibromyalgia, I can not do anything that is going to raise my heart rate or cortisol like i used to. In order for me to heal these issues, I have to take my time and really focus on being slow and intentional with my movements.…

Day 3 – Deep Breathing & Sitting in Silence
Today’s focus was quiet both in my breath and my mind. I wanted to try deep breathing, but I was a little fishy about it. It seems so simple; therefore, I kind of assumed it wouldn’t be so helpful. When I really sat down and thought about it, I realized I don’t even breathe correctly. Now, I know that sounds bad and a little dramatic, but I’m being so for real right now. I noticed that I kind of hold my breath, or I don’t take deep breaths like a normal person should. I can assure you it’s from a trauma response. The feeling that you have to hold your…

Day 2 – Grounding in Nature
Today I decided to step outside, soak in some sunshine, and connect with the earth. I wanted to ground myself literally and figuratively. I took my shoes off, let my bare feet touch the grass, and just stood there for a while. I closed my eyes, felt the breeze, and let the sun wrap around me. I was also hoping that I could even out this tan that I got from the beach a couple of weeks ago. So there were other motives. lol While the sun was hitting my skin, I said to myself that I am safe, I am loved, and I am grateful for all things. I…
