It’s Monday. A lot of us are heading back into work routines, school schedules, early mornings, packed calendars, and all the little transitions that come with this time of year. Even positive changes can feel like a lot for our nervous systems. So if you’re feeling more overwhelmed, scattered, or emotional than usual today, try to remember:

Regulation first.

Clarity second.

You don’t have to figure everything out while you’re activated. Give yourself a little room to settle first.
