This layer helps stabilize your body and nervous system when life feels overwhelming or exhausting.

This layer may be helpful if you notice:

What this layer is not

This is not mindset work

This is not motivation

This is not self-analysis

This is not about fixing your life

What to do here

1. Slow your breathing until your exhale is longer than your inhale

2. Reduce stimulation (screens, noise, information)

3. Eat something simple and grounding

4. Move your body gently

5. Stop making decisions for now

If this feels like too much
If even this feels overwhelming, go to When Nothing Works.
There is nothing else you need to do right now.

Once your body feels more stable, you may want to explore Clarity.
