Slow breathing, light stretching, a cool towel...get your body safe so your mind can follow.Regulate your nervous system daily. Morning sunlight, hydration, balanced protein, and magnesium support.Reach out, don’t isolate. Talk to your provider or join a community for support.Keep a “reality anchor” notebook. Write: “What’s true right now?” It breaks the loop.Your peace isn’t gone. It’s just waiting for you to come back to it.Emotions travel 80,000 times faster than thoughts.
