🌿 A Simple Calming Routine for Overstimulated Parents
Welcome.
This space exists to help you exhale — not perform, not perfect, not pretend.
Today’s routine is something you can return to whenever your body feels tight, your thoughts won’t slow, or the noise of the day is still ringing inside you.
This takes only a few minutes, but the nervous system receives it like a full reset.
The 5–5–5 Calm Reset
Step 1: Anchor Your Body (5 minutes)
Sit or lie down in a position that feels supported.
- Put one hand on your chest.
- The other on your belly.
- Softly close your eyes or look down.
Take 5 slow breaths:
In through your nose for 4…
Out your mouth for 6…
Let your shoulders drop on every exhale.
You are telling your body:
“I am safe right now.”
Step 2: Release the Day (5 sentences)
Either say or whisper:
- Today was heavy.
- I did the best I could.
- I release what I can’t fix tonight.
- I forgive myself for what I didn’t handle perfectly.
- I am allowed to rest now.
No arguing.
Just letting.
Step 3: Reclaim Tomorrow (5 thoughts)
Quietly name:
- One thing you did well.
- One moment worth remembering.
- One small thing you’ll do for yourself tomorrow.
- One thing you’re grateful for.
- One word you want to carry into sleep (peace, soft, safe, steady).
Step 4: Gentle Close
If you’re headed to bed, place both hands over your heart and breathe once more.
If you’re staying up, stretch your neck, roll your shoulders, and walk slowly — like your body matters.
Because it does.
