Somatic Practices for Overwhelmed Moms (Body-Based Calm)

When the mental load is heavy, when your body is tense, when your mind is racing, come back to your body.

Your body is wise. Your body is with you.

Easy Somatic Practices for Everyday Calm:

• Hand on heart + 3 slow breaths: “I am safe. I am loved.”

• Feel your feet on the ground: notice the support underneath you

• Gentle shoulder rolls or neck stretches while feeding baby

• Shake out your hands when tension builds

• Rock your body while standing, slow, rhythmic swaying

Even one small body cue can tell your nervous system: We’re okay right now.

That’s enough.
