  You’re often in the Ventral Vagal state - grounded, open and connected. This is the state where your nervous system feels safe and supported. You likely feel present in your body, emotionally steady, and capable of handling life’s ups and downs with grace. In this space, you can breathe deeply. You feel connected to others—and to yourself. You're creative, compassionate, and able to access joy, even in small things. Decision-making feels clear, relationships feel nourishing, and you trust yourself. It’s not about being “happy” all the time—it’s about feeling alive, safe, and resourced in your body and mind.

  You may spend a lot of time in the Sympathetic state – in “go mode,” anxious, or easily overwhelmed.In this state, your body is on high alert. You might feel like you're always bracing for something to go wrong—or constantly pushing through, even when you're exhausted. There’s a sense of urgency, like there’s never enough time. You may feel edgy, reactive, or quick to anger. Your heart races, your breath is shallow, and rest feels impossible. Even joy can feel just out of reach, replaced by a relentless drive to keep doing, fixing, achieving. While this state can help us respond to stress or danger, living here long-term can leave you feeling burnt out, anxious, or like you're always one step away from breaking down.

  You’re likely operating from the Dorsal Vagal state – feeling shut down, tired, or emotionally checked out.In this state, it can feel like the world is too much—or like you’ve faded into the background of your own life. You may feel numb, hopeless, or like you’re watching things happen from a distance. Simple tasks can feel overwhelming. You might isolate yourself, avoid social interaction, or sleep more than usual. It’s not laziness or weakness—it’s your nervous system’s way of saying, “I need to retreat to survive.” This freeze response is designed to protect you from overwhelm, but when you stay here too long, life can start to feel empty, meaningless, or like you’ve lost your spark. The good news is: with gentle, body-based practices, you can thaw the freeze and begin to reawaken.
