Day 1: Regulate Stress & Restore Baseline Stability

Chronic stress is one of the most common disruptors of hormonal balance.

When cortisol remains elevated, it influences blood sugar regulation, ovulation timing, sleep, and energy patterns.

In meridian theory, prolonged stress creates tension along the back body and lower abdomen — areas associated with recovery and resilience.

Today’s practice gently restores baseline stability through breath and floor-based support.

This is about safety before change.

Reflection

Where do you habitually brace against stress?

Jaw? Shoulders? Lower belly? Thought patterns?

Awareness is the first layer of regulation.

Today’s Anchor

Extend your exhale longer than your inhale at least three times today. Even one minute can interrupt a stress cascade.

Experiment — not perfection.
