Pause Before You Snap: A Real-Life Reset

Hi,

Darling.

If you're here,

I'm guessing something stirred you up.

Maybe you're on edge,

Frustrated,

Overstimulated,

Overwhelmed,

Or flat-out done.

So let's pause just for a few minutes.

You deserve that.

Your nervous system needs it.

So take a deep breath in.

Seriously,

Breathe in through your nose and let it slowly out your mouth.

Let your shoulders drop,

Let your jaw unclench,

And let your fist open and release.

You don't have to fix anything in this moment.

You don't have to explain yourself or get it right.

You just need to breathe.

You just need a moment to catch yourself before you snap.

Keep breathing in through the nose and exhale out through the mouth.

Feel your body,

Your hands,

Your feet.

Notice the heat in your body.

Is it in your chest?

Your hands?

Let's cool it all down with breath,

Not judgment.

Tell yourself gently,

I'm allowed to feel this.

I'm also allowed to pause.

I'm breathing.

I'm pausing.

I'm seeing.

And I'm noticing.

You just did.

You paused.

You interrupted the spiral.

And that,

My darling,

That matters.

So let's finish with one more breath in,

And a long exhale out.

Let it all carry the tension out of your body.

You can still say what you need.

But now you can say it with a little more softness,

A little more you,

The grounded version,

The darling version.

So come back to this at any time.

I'll be right here.
