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

The Heavy Heart

You carry sadness, grief, or emotional pressure in your chest. May not even know why. It’s been that way for a while.

You may look calm on the outside, but inside, there’s weight. Maybe it’s sadness, maybe loss, or maybe just years of feeling unseen or unsupported. Your body holds that in your chest and breath.

This is called a “shutdown-grief pattern.” Your nervous system pulls back—not because you’re weak, but because it learned it wasn’t safe to feel it all.

Top 5 Causes:

  1. Unprocessed grief or emotional suppression
  2. Lack of safe space to feel or express emotions
  3. Belief that showing emotion = weakness
  4. Over-adapted to being “the strong one”
  5. Disconnection from spiritual, heart-centered support

Common body signs:
– Chest tightness
– Shallow breathing
– Sadness or heaviness you can’t explain

What helps:
Gentle breathing exercises, heart-opening movements, and permission to feel. Your body wants to release the weight. It just needs a safe way to do it. 

Try this:

  1. Daily heart check-in: “What emotion is present right now?”
  2. Grief expression practices – write, sing, cry, or create
  3. Use longer exhale breath (e.g., 4 in / 6 out) for vagal tone
  4. Reconnect with God, nature, or beauty as sources of healing joy

👉 Here's Your CalmerMove

Why do this?

Calmer Moves target the most common "high-tension muscles" that cause a negative feedback loop inside your nervous system that grinds and disrupts your system raising cortisol high when it should be low.

You will feel instant release. It lasts well into your day. The more you do it, and stay consistent, the longer it lasts. Make sure to track your Big3 Markers to make sure you're getting better and better.
