Happy Sunday, tribe 🫶🌞

Before we get into it, pre-registration is open for the Break the Loop program!! Thank you all so much for the support and feedback.

For less than the price of a single therapy session (that you don’t even know will work for you), this is a deep dive with the exact tools and energetic shifts that helped me and my clients stop ruminating, heal emotional wounds, and finally feel grounded, peaceful, and back in control.

1. Sinking energy in the wrong people

Your body is so smart.

Notice what it tries to tell you after you talk to certain people.

Do you feel energized and inspired? Or do you feel drained and left questioning where you stand with them?

2. Regular stimulant use (nicotine, sugar, caffeine)

My OCD and anxiety completely flare up when I drink too much coffee.

Always use stimulants with intention, since they can disrupt real deep rest.

Instead of overloading your adrenals, try grounding rituals (like breathwork, herbal tea, or a walk) and hydrate deeply.

3. Ignoring your intuition

Your body will tell you when something is off before your mind does.

Your mind may even try to talk you out of what your intuition is fighting to tell you.

I’m sure you have at least a few moments in your life when you ignored your intuition and you paid the price for it. Make it a practice to check in and listen to your body regularly.

4. Overconsumption of social media

Social media is designed to addict you and put you in fight-or-flight mode by activating your emotions of anger, fear, etc.

Your nervous system also needs time to sit in stillness and silence.

Just for one day, replace unconscious scrolling with focusing on your breath.

5. Irregular sleep patterns

Sleep is your body’s repair mode. Prioritizing sleep is prioritizing healing.

One day this week, try 30 minutes of screen-free time before bed.

6. Frequent partying & substance use

There is a big difference between partying to celebrate and partying to escape.

I’ve done both. Escapism can slowly drain your spirit.

Allowing yourself to sit with the current discomfort of your thoughts and emotions without trying to numb them is what forms a real relationship with yourself.

Your nervous system heals through presence, not numbing.

7. Poor nutrition / ignoring your body’s cues

Food is fuel. Pay attention to what actually stabilizes and nourishes you.

Try eating without screens or without consuming any other information, and notice how the food feels in your body.

8. Holding onto old stories / refusing to forgive

What happened to you may not have been fair. It may not have been okay. Trust me, I completely understand how you feel.

But when we hold on tightly to past pain by replaying it in our minds, identifying with it, or defining ourselves by it, we unconsciously keep ourselves stuck in that version of reality.

Your nervous system doesn’t know the difference between remembering the pain and reliving it. Every time you retell the story, your body braces.. You stay stuck in survival.

Forgiveness isn’t saying “what they did was fine,” it’s saying, “I deserve to be free and move on into a new life.”

9. Overthinking & emotional suppression

You don’t have to solve every feeling. You just have to feel it.

I used to spiral into the belief that something was wrong with me by constantly searching for answers and trying to “fix” the discomfort.

Try this practice:

The next time an uncomfortable thought or emotion shows up, pause and ask yourself:

• What would it look like to fully accept this experience as is?

• What if I didn’t need to fix or change anything in this very moment?

10. Chronic stress and hustle culture

We were not designed to be constantly pushing and proving ourselves to others.

Living in constant “go” mode keeps the body in a state of hypervigilance. Over time, this can drain your body.

Even just 10 deep, intentional breaths a day can give your nervous system space to relax.

I love you guys,

Emma
