Your Nervous System Thinks You’re Still Broke

Even now, with a higher income.
Even now, with savings in your account.
Even now, with food in the fridge and lights that stay on—

Your body still flinches
like the money’s about to run out.

The Science of Safety (And Why You Still Don’t Feel It)

When Scarcity Becomes a Somatic Pattern

Here’s what most people don’t realize:

Your nervous system doesn’t speak numbers.
It doesn’t care about your Stripe payouts or your credit score.

It remembers the tension of not knowing how you’d pay rent.
The fight you had over money at 11 years old.
The humiliation of asking for help… again.

So even when your reality shifts,
your physiology may still be bracing.

“Your nervous system doesn’t care that you’re safe now if no one taught it how to stop clenching.”

The Body Remembers What the Mind Outgrows

This is why you can make more money and still feel tight.

Why you overwork even when you don’t need to.
Why receiving love, rest, or spaciousness makes you anxious.
Why deep down… a part of you still expects it all to disappear.

It’s not self-sabotage. It’s survival imprinting.

Here’s What That Looks Like in Real Life:

• You avoid checking your bank account, even when it’s fine.
• You downplay your success to “stay humble.”
• Receiving more triggers guilt, hypervigilance, or fear.

That’s not your mindset.
That’s your body saying, “I still remember.”

So What Do We Do With That?

We Don’t Logic It Away. We Ritualize Safety.

Safety isn’t something you think your way into.
It’s something you teach your body to feel.

Through rhythm.
Through repetition.
Through sacred reminders that it’s safe to soften now.

This is what the 21-day Money Ritual is designed for.

Not just more knowledge—
but more nervous system repair.
Not just affirmations—
but somatic re-patterning through poetry, breath, and truth.

You are not behind. You are just still learning to feel safe with what you already have.
