You Deserve Ease in Your Own Body

Nurses are taught to be strong, stable, immovable pillars.
But the truth is:

Softness isn’t weakness.
Softness is medicine.

Rocking, swaying, shaking, humming—these are ancestral, embodied practices. They return us to ourselves. They remind us that we’re human before we are healers.

And you’re allowed to feel safe in your own body, even at work.

Your nervous system is not a machine.
It’s a living, intuitive guide—and rocking is one of its love languages.

A 2-Minute Reset for Busy Nurses

Try this between rooms, before a difficult conversation, or after receiving bad news:

  1. Stand or sit comfortably.
  2. Place one hand on your chest, one on your belly.
  3. Sway slowly from right to left.
  4. Inhale for 4. Exhale for 6.
  5. Imagine your internal dial turning down.

You’ll feel the shift.
Your patients will feel it too—because regulated nurses regulate the room.
