Feeling Stuck or "Frozen" In Messy Emotions? You may be in a nervous system response I know all too well known as "functional freeze". This can be associated with chronic stress, unhealed trauma, or ongoing anxiety. Here's how it might manifest on a day-to-day basis: - Working without eating, drinking, or taking any breaks - Feeling numb, zoned out, and disconnected from life - Getting everything done but not remembering doing it - General difficulty remembering anything - Perfectionism (being incredibly hard on yourself) - Difficulty in fully relaxing, as the body and mind remain on edge - Constant need to vigorously shake a leg or tap fingers - Biting fingernails or picking at your skin - Persistent muscle tension and stiffness, especially in the shoulders, neck, and jaw - Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep due to an overactive nervous system My TOP THREE favourite ways to shift out of functional freeze are: - Cold shower or cold plunge (literally THE BEST!!! and instant shift in mood) - Dancing to music my body LOVES (if you feel resistant - dance anyway and see what happens) - Taking a long mindful walk in nature - leaving all devices at home! These are simple, yet powerful tools to that can help you shift, but they will only be temporary shifts if you don't address the root cause of your nervous system dysregulation - trauma held in the body. These practices, when combined with shadow integration work, offer a path out of fight/flight/ freeze and will allow you to find safety in your body once again. Do you experience any of the above? What are the tools you use to help shift stuck, sticky emotions? Let's talk about it in the comments! Also, I offer you this 50 minute ecstatic dance journey I recorded recently which can be used to take yourself on a mini hero's journey and shift that stagnant energy. Get curious and compassionate with your inner landscape and JUST KEEP DANCING. We got this, guys!! With love, Nicole xo

These last few weeks..more like months, lol, have been super intense. There's so much moving, changing, and shifting in my own world and the world at large that I've had moments where I want to be an ostrich. To just go bury my head in the ground and wait for it all to blow over....but I know that's not the answer. So, here we are, on this cosmic spaceship, hurtling through the galaxy at an unfathomable pace and waking up the the collective journey that we are on. It's in times like these that I find that gratitude starts to slip away, until I realize that one day, I'm more concerned with what isn't than what is. This is our collective reminder to stop for a moment and let in the beauty of this chaotic and wild time on the planet. Here we are, with a front row seat for the coming changes. The leading edge of consciousness on the planet. We are the shadow walkers, the new pioneers for a new era that is coming.... daunting as it may be....HOW COOL IS THAT?! I mean really! We are living in EXTRAORDINARY times right now, and get to have the full spectrum of human experience. At this point any results are just a bonus. This is where I remember to be grateful for the beautiful machinery that is my body. The fact that I have a body is incredible. Then the deep appreciation and respect for this community, the support it provides and the joy it brings. We are creating the best ROI ( ripples of impact ) on the planet, and I'm stoked to see where this all goes. Much love, deep respect, and blessings to all of you brave enough to wake up in this wild world. ❤️‍🔥😊
