Feeling foggy, tired, or anxious? How to support your body gently
When life moves fast and you feel like you're not yourself, it can be hard to know where to begin with the fogginess, anxiety, exhaustion, or general (or mysterious) blahs.
You know your body better than anyone, except one source of equally deep intelligence.
At my vitae, we believe the body itself is wise and has an innate ability to balance and restore itself when it is supported with the needed care and compassion.
Below, we’ve listed some of the most common ways imbalance can appear in day-to-day life, along with gentle ways to support your reconnection to its healing abilities, allowing for a return toward your natural state of vitality.
You Feel Wired, Tired or Both
Whether you’re experiencing racing thoughts at bedtime, foggy mornings, waves of energy and restlessness when you’re trying to rest, or all of the above in an unpredictable manner, you’re not imagining it, no, it’s not regular, and yes, it’s more common than you might think.
Being tired yet wired is a common sign of nervous system regulation, typically manifesting when your body hasn’t had enough consistent space to come down from stress, productivity or other pressures.
What May Help
Breathwork or Sound Healing - For inviting rest and calm to reduce bodily stress.
Holistic Psychotherapy - For building awareness of personal patterns that keep the body on high alert.
Herbal Consultations - For nourishing internal adrenals and regulating energy over time.
Your Digestion Feels Off
If your belly’s feeling bloated, your body’s feeling sluggish, cravings are recurring, or elimination seems irregular, it can be easy to point to food, a lack of, or its nutritional contents (or that lack of).
Your digestion is actively linked to your nervous system, emotional stress levels and overall wellness. If your balance is off internally, even an imbalance unrelated to food, hydration or digestion, your digestive system (primarily your gut) is likely to feel it first.
What May Help
Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) - For unblocking digestive pathways and restoring flow.
Holistic Nutrition Sessions - For exploring dietary preferences, eating rhythms and how to support your digestion.
Live Blood Cell Analysis - For a real-time cellular look at what your body is lacking or struggling with.
Your Skin is Reacting
When your face or body breaks out, becomes dry or glows red, this is your skin raising a bat signal that something deep requires attention and support, and not just by a simple skincare procedure or product.
Skin conditions are often a reaction to issues with your hormones, liver health, gut health or an overall condition of chronic stress. This can be frustrating as there are so few possible skin symptoms and so many variations of what can cause any one of them.
What May Help
Botanical Remedies - For support of liver function, inflammation cooling and reduction of general internal heat.
Energy Healing - For clearing stagnant emotional patterns that contribute to skin (and other) conditions.
Holistic Facials - For encouraging detoxification and lymphatic flow.
Your Emotions are Overwhelming (Or Absent)
Emotional imbalance doesn’t always look like tears, sadness or variations of upset. It can manifest as emotional fatigue, irritation, numbness, feeling blank or feeling stuck.
When safety and support are absent, your body takes on the task of holding onto these emotions for you until they have somewhere to go. And then they build up.
What May Help
Art Therapy or Energy Healing - For non-verbal paths of expression and release.
Meditation or Movement Sessions - For reconnecting to your body and creating space for pressureless emotional shifts.
Holistic Psychotherapy - For trauma-informed exploration of emotions in a safe, grounded space.
Begin Where You Are, When You’re Ready
