Steady and Connected Podcast: Episode 3
Ten small cues your nervous system can read
Recognise the pattern when it shows up — and stop fighting yourself
When your body reads a moment as not safe — a flat goodnight, a slow reply, a turn away in the dark — no argument settles it. The system responds to cues of safety. Ten small ones to try across the week, without judgment, without fixing.
What's inside
A one-page pocket companion of ten cues of safety your nervous system can read, with checkboxes to mark what you reach for.
- A slower out-breath, feet on the floor, a soft gaze
- A warm word — to yourself or to your partner
- A hand on your chest or belly
- Gentle movement, familiar smell, warm water on your hands
- Space to reflect on what your body noticed this week
Why curiosity — not correction — is the practice.
Ten fillable checkboxes and a multi-line reflection field, saved as you go.
