Your nervous system constantly broadcasts through body signals—heart rate changes, muscle tightness, temperature shifts, gut sensations—that tell you whether you're safe, threatened, or activated. Learning to notice and interpret these signals gives you early warning of stress and valuable data for regulating yourself before your nervous system hijacks your behavior.
