Using Inner
Use Inner to track your nervous system states throughout the day. Notice when you feel calm, anxious, or overwhelmed. Ask yourself what triggered these feelings and how your body responded. Journal about any patterns you observe without judgment. Explore questions like: 'What do I need in this moment?' and 'How can I bring myself back to a state of safety and connection?' Building awareness is the first step toward regulation.

Spot this pattern by paying attention to physical sensations like a racing heart, shallow breathing, or tight muscles. Emotionally, you might feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected. These signs often activate during stressful events, conflicts, or when you're under pressure. Recognize these signals without shame; they are your body's way of signaling that it needs support and care.
