The "Not Enough" Cycle Ends Here (And You Can Practice This Today)
So real talk: most of us are running on a nervous system that learned "scarcity" a long time ago.
And now? Even when we win, our body doesn't know how to receive it. So we're stuck in this loop: achieve, feel empty, achieve more, still feel empty.
That's not a willpower problem. That's a nervous system problem.
Here's what I want to offer you today:
A 3-minute practice that interrupts that cycle. Not to fix everything (that's deeper work). But to give your nervous system a taste of what regulation actually feels like.
Because once your body knows what arrival feels like, the scarcity loop loses its grip.
THE PRACTICE: "Permission to Arrive"
Find a quiet space. 2-3 minutes. That's it.
Step 1: Notice What You've Won Close your eyes. Think of ONE thing you've accomplished in the last 10 days. Something real. Doesn't have to be huge.
(Even if your brain immediately says "yeah but..." shush. Not now!)
Step 2: Breathe Into It Take a deep breath in through your nose (count of 4). Pause. Exhale slowly through your mouth (count of 6).
Do this 3 times while you hold that accomplishment in your awareness.
Your body is literally shifting out of scarcity and into receipt.
Step 3: Notice the Shift What changed? Your shoulders drop? Your chest opens? Your breath deepens?
That's your nervous system recognizing: "Oh. I'm safe. I've won."
Why This Matters:
Your "not enough" isn't going away because you keep feeding it with more achievement.
It goes away when your nervous system finally believes you're safe.
This 3-minute practice? It's your nervous system's first taste of that.
Do it today. Notice what shifts.
Then come back and tell me what you felt.
Because I'm genuinely curious what happens when you finally give yourself permission to arrive instead of just keep hustling.
DM "arrived" if you tried this and want to explore deeper work around rewiring that scarcity loop.
Or just comment below—I want to hear what you noticed. 💚
