A reset for when you’re stuck, numb, or unable to start.
🧊 The Freeze Response Mini Reset
What’s Happening
Your system shifts into Freeze Mode when stress feels overwhelming.
You feel shut down, heavy, paralyzed, foggy, or detached.
Science Says → Freeze is your body’s emergency brake, conserving energy when fight/flight feels impossible.
The Reset Formula
1. Shift Your Mindset → “I’m not lazy or broken. My body is protecting me.”
2. Reset with a Ritual → Move gently: wiggle fingers, tap feet, stretch one muscle.
3. Make a Power Move → Do one tiny step. (Drink water, send one message, open the curtains.)
⚡ Fast-Pass Reset: Take one sip of water. Movement returns from the smallest start.
Affirmation: “Small steps are enough. I don’t have to unfreeze all at once.”
Freeze is your nervous system’s shield.
Meeting it gently turns shutdown into restart.
