Too much activation

Wired

You are running on overdrive

How it feels

You are tense and driven, your mind will not stop, and you are still functioning – often very well. Switching off feels hard, even though you long for it.

What your body says

Shallow breath, tight shoulders, restless legs.

What your system needs now

Movement first, then slowing down. Sitting still alone often does not help, because the energy needs to move out first.

1 Shake it out and exhale long

2 minutes
  1. Stand up and loosely shake out your hands, arms and legs for 30 seconds.
  2. Breathe in through your nose while counting to 4.
  3. Breathe out slowly through your mouth counting to 6 or 8 – as if blowing through a straw.
  4. Repeat ten times.

Feel into it

What feels different now compared to before?

Good for

2 Humming

1–2 minutes
  1. Sit or stand comfortably. Let your shoulders sink.
  2. Breathe in calmly through your nose.
  3. Hum a deep tone on the exhale, for as long as it feels pleasant.
  4. Feel the vibration in your chest, throat and head. Five rounds.

3 Walk, then stand
