Day 4 Tip to Nervous System Regulation
Releasing Emotional Tension (Without Analysing It)
If you’re in perimenopause, menopause, or simply feeling emotionally stretched, you might notice that feelings come up quickly — frustration, sadness, irritation — and don’t always make logical sense.
That’s because not all emotional stress lives in your thoughts.
A lot of it lives in the body.
Nervous system regulation isn’t about fixing or understanding every emotion — it’s about giving your body a safe way to release what it’s holding.
This can look like:
• letting yourself sigh or yawn without stopping it
• shaking out your arms or legs for 30 seconds
• tapping gently on your chest or collarbone
• placing a hand on your body and breathing slowly
• allowing emotion to move without judging it
You don’t need to relive old stories.
You don’t need to “process” everything.
Your body often just needs permission to let go.
When emotional tension softens, many women notice:
fewer emotional spikes
less reactivity in relationships
more patience with themselves
a sense of being more grounded
Nothing is wrong with you.
Your nervous system has just been doing its best to protect you.
Today, see if you can let something move through instead of holding it in.
