When Nothing Works

This page exists for moments when your system is overloaded.


You are OK. Nothing needs to be solved right now.

Do this. Only this.

Stop trying to fix, understand, or decide anything

Sit or lie down

Let your eyes rest on one neutral point

Exhale slowly. Make the exhale longer than the inhale

Place one hand on your chest or stomach

Reduce stimulation. Screens off. Noise down

Do not plan. Do not evaluate. Do not choose

Stay here until the intensity drops on its own

This may take minutes. It may take longer. Let it.

Nothing else is required.

What this is

A pause.
A reset.
A place to let your nervous system settle without interference.

What this is not

Therapy
Insight
Mindset work
Problem-solving
Making progress

You are not falling behind by being here.

When your body feels steadier, return to:

Foundation (body & nervous system stabilization) if your system still feels unsafe

Unfazed if pressure is present

Ascended From Ashes if things feel broken

If this loss of authority is showing up as financial pressure or instability, there’s a practical guide for that here.

Until then, stay.
