Hi my friend, you will see the best CalmerMove for you below. Your nervous system type based on your quiz answers is...

The Overloaded Giver

You’re empathic and loving, but over-extends to the point of burnout or resentment. You carry so much—for others, and sometimes, too little for yourself.

You’re the one who checks in on others. The helper, the peacemaker, the one people trust. But underneath all that care, you may feel tired, anxious, or a little resentful.

That’s because your nervous system is stuck in “fawn mode.” It keeps you focused on others, but leaves your own body tense and drained. You may have a hard time setting boundaries—or even noticing what you need.

Top 5 Causes:

  1. Identity built around being “the caretaker” or “peacemaker”
  2. Fear of being rejected or unloved if they say no
  3. Past emotional neglect → need to be needed
  4. Lack of boundaries or guilt around putting self first
  5. Constant hypervigilance to others' emotions

Common body signs:
– Tight chest or shallow breathing
– Hip or lower back tension
– Trouble sleeping or feeling calm

What helps:
You need space to come back to yourself. To feel strong inside your own body. That starts with small moments of self-care—especially ones that help your nervous system settle and your muscles soften. Try this:

  1. Daily “Check-in with self first” practice (before phone/text/email)
  2. Boundary reframe: saying no = protecting your gift
  3. Strengthen glute medius with hip-stabilizing movement → improves emotional boundaries
  4. Track energy leaks—ask “Did I say yes when I meant no?”
