I wasn’t productive. I was hypervigilant. On today’s Tea & Toast Live, we talked about something so many women are praised for and quietly suffering through. Hypervigilance. That constant state of being “on.” Scanning. Anticipating. Managing. Fixing. Preparing. Society calls it: • being responsible • being strong • being high-functioning • being productive But your body knows the truth. Hypervigilance is a nervous system that never learned it was safe to stand down. And when we confuse survival with success, rest starts to feel like danger instead of medicine. Drop a ☕️ if this hit home. Watch this replay if your nervous system needs gentleness today. You don’t need more discipline. You need more safety.

Yesterday we talked about safety today we practice presence. Many of us live from the neck up. Thinking. Analyzing. Replaying. Preparing. That’s not because you’re dramatic it’s because your nervous system learned that staying alert kept you safe. But your body isn’t meant to be a background character in your life. Today is about gently stepping out of your thoughts and back into your body — not to judge it, fix it, or discipline it… but to be with it. Presence is regulation. And regulation doesn’t require perfection — just attention. Here’s a Fun + Engaging Prompt Let’s make this playful and real. Body Check-In (no overthinking): Pause and finish these sentences honestly: - Right now, my body feels like: (tired / tight / floaty / heavy / calm / buzzy / soft / irritated / unsure / something else) - The place in my body asking for attention today is my ________ - If my body could text me one sentence right now, it would say:“________.” Bonus (optional): Do one tiny thing your body is asking for stretch, sip water, dance, put your feet on the floor, rest your eyes. Affirmation for Day 2: I listen to my body without rushing to fix it.

I want you to see this because it explains the heart of why The Love Rehab Academy exists. This space was created while I was rebuilding myself from the inside out. Watch when you have a quiet moment. No rush.
