Feel Safe First: Then Manifest, Decide, Receive

Ground yourself before your next big move—so you’re in your body, not lost in fantasy.

✅ Practical

✅ Polyvagal-based

✅ Real

Step 1: Check Your State

Ask yourself:

"Do I feel safe in my body right now?"

If the answer is no or you feel frozen, buzzy, or blank, you’re likely dysregulated.

No shame. Just name it.

Signs of Dysregulation:

• Fight/Flight – racing thoughts, urgency, tension
• Freeze – foggy, numb, disconnected
• Fawn – over-accommodating, hyper-aware of others

Step 2: Regulate From the Bottom Up

You can’t think your way to calm. You move your way there.

Try any of these for 2–3 minutes:

1. Texture Grounding

   Touch stone, denim, wood, something real.

   Let sensation anchor you.
