This is called Legs Up the Wall - and it’s one of the simplest ways to settle your nervous system when the day has taken it out of you.
Find a wall, lie down, and let your legs rest. Arms by your sides, jaw soft, nothing to do.
That’s it. Even a few minutes here can shift something - your heart rate slows, your body gets the message that it’s safe to rest.
No flexibility needed. No experience needed. Just a wall and a few minutes to yourself.

Most of us were never taught how our nervous system works - only that we’re supposed to “calm down” when it’s struggling.
But the body doesn’t respond to instruction. It responds to safety, offered gently, again and again.
That’s the whole foundation of this work.

Your nervous system has three states - and knowing which one you tend to fall into changes everything.
🟢 Regulated
Calm. Present. Grounded.
This is your natural home base - where you can think clearly, connect with others, and meet life without being overwhelmed by it.
🟡 Fight or Flight
Wired. Anxious. Unable to switch off.
Your nervous system has detected a threat - real or not - and mobilised your body for action. The alarm is on. The difficulty is when it stays on, long after the danger has passed.
🔵 Freeze
Flat. Exhausted. Disconnected.
When the system becomes too overwhelmed to keep mobilising, it pulls back to protect you. This isn’t weakness - it’s your body doing the most it can.
Most of us cycle between fight or flight and freeze without ever quite finding our way back to regulated.
Not because something is wrong with us.
Because nobody ever showed us how.
Understanding these three states is the first step to working with your nervous system, not against it.
