Are you feeling…
1. Anxious and Overwhelmed? Your heart may race, and your mind might be buzzing with worries.
2. Disconnected from Your Body? You could miss signals like hunger or fatigue, making self-care harder.
3. Uncertain or Doubtful? Past mistakes or fear of failing may keep you from trusting your choices.
Somatics is a mind-body approach that helps you tune into the physical sensations in your body—like tension, warmth, or tingling—and gently release stress. By becoming more aware of these signals, you can respond with care and calm, instead of pushing yourself too hard or ignoring your needs.
3 Simple Somatic Tips
1. Calming Breath
Breathe in through your nose for a count of four.
Hold for a quick pause, then exhale for six.
This helps your body switch from “fight or flight” to a calmer state.
2. Body Scan Check-In
Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and move your attention from your toes to your head.
Notice any tension and imagine sending warmth or kindness there as you exhale.
3. Grounding Touch
Place a hand on your chest or belly.
Inhale deeply, feeling your hand rise and fall.
Exhale slowly, releasing stress and inviting a sense of safety.
