If you are awake right now whether it's exactly 3 a.
M.
Or simply one of those hours where everything feels louder this is your reset.
At this time of night the mind often starts working overtime.
It replays what you said today,
What you posted,
What you decided,
What you stepped into.
It runs through the worst-case scenarios.
It questions the intuitive move you made earlier and suddenly everything feels exposed.
This isn't because you were wrong,
It's because you expanded.
When you act on intuition,
When you grow,
When you step into something new,
Your nervous system registers change as risk.
So at night when there are no distractions it scans for danger.
This is protection,
Not prophecy.
Nothing is collapsing right now.
Nothing needs solving right now.
Your system simply needs a reset.
Let's begin there.
First feel the weight of your body in the bed.
You don't have to move.
Just notice the points of contact.
The mattress beneath you,
The sheet against your skin,
The air in the room.
Take a slow breath in through your nose and a longer breath out through your mouth.
Let the exhale be slightly longer than the inhale.
Again,
In,
At night the exhale tells the body it is safe.
Let your jaw soften.
Let your shoulders drop.
Place one hand lightly on your chest or your stomach if that feels more natural.
Feel your own warmth.
You are here.
Right now in this room nothing is happening.
The mind may still be talking.
That's all right.
You don't need to argue with it.
Just keep returning to the exhale.
In and longer out.
If thoughts arise like what if,
What about,
Maybe I shouldn't have.
Let them pass.
You don't need to solve anything in the dark.
This hour is not for decisions.
It's for rest.
Feel the back of your body supported.
Feel gravity holding you.
Nothing is required of you right now.
Stay here for a few more breaths.
What you are feeling is recalibration.
Expansion.
Expansion feels unfamiliar before it feels stable.
Growth can feel unsafe before it feels natural.
Delay is not failure.
Silence is not rejection.
Uncertainty is not a sign you were wrong.
Your nervous system is adjusting to a larger version of you.
It is learning that this new space is safe.
You do not need immediate proof to trust yourself.
You do not need validation tonight.
You acted from intuition and intuition does not demand instant confirmation.
Let your body absorb that.
We are going to move into a few affirmations now.
If no one else is in the room with you,
You're welcome to say them quietly out loud,
Or you can just simply repeat them in your mind.
Let them land softly and slowly.
You don't need to force belief.
Just allow the words to settle.
We will repeat each one three times.
It's safe to have grown.
It's safe to have grown.
It is safe to have grown.
Expansion does not mean danger.
Expansion does not mean danger.
Expansion does not mean danger.
Delay is not failure.
Delay is not failure.
Silence is not rejection.
Silence is not rejection.
I trust the intuitive decision I made.
I trust the intuitive decision I made.
My nervous system is recalibrating.
My nervous system is recalibrating.
My nervous system is recalibrating.
I can rest even while things are unfolding.
I can rest even while things are unfolding.
I can rest even while things are unfolding.
Let your body absorb that.
No forcing,
No convincing.
Just breathing.
Notice again the weight of the mattress holding you.
The quiet of the room.
The steadiness of your breath.
In this moment,
You are safe.
Nothing is collapsing.
Nothing is urgent.
You can return to sleep.
And if sleep doesn't come immediately,
That's fine too.
Stay with your breath.
Stay with the exhale.
This is your reset.
