Feeling wired, worn out, or “never fully calm” no matter what you try?

Your nervous system is not broken. It is overwhelmed. Calm Your Nervous System is a gentle, practical guide to understanding why your body feels constantly on alert - and how to slowly guide it back toward balance, safety, and ease.

Drawing on psychology, mind-body practices, and simple daily habits, Lily Penrose helps you make sense of stress, anxiety, and emotional overload in a compassionate, non-judgmental way. Instead of forcing yourself to “just relax,” you’ll learn how to work with your nervous system so it can finally start to relax on its own.

Inside this book, you’ll discover:

• Clear, simple explanations of how your nervous system works and why it gets stuck in fight, flight, or freeze
• Gentle techniques for immediate relief when stress or anxiety spikes
• Mindfulness and breathing practices that support nervous system regulation
• Yoga and breathwork sequences designed to calm tension and release stored stress
• Foods and herbal remedies that nourish and support nervous system health
• How sound therapy, music, and guided meditations can help quiet a busy mind
• Nature-based practices and somatic tools for grounding back into your body
• Trauma-informed perspectives on healing without re-traumatizing yourself
• Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping) for everyday stress and overwhelm
• How to create a holistic healing plan that fits your life and energy levels

This book is for you if:

• You feel stuck in chronic stress, burnout, or anxiety
• Your body feels “on edge” even when nothing is wrong
• You want nervous system healing that is compassionate, not harsh or demanding
• You prefer practical, science-informed tools explained in calming, everyday language

You do not need perfect discipline, hours of meditation, or a complete life overhaul to start healing. You need small, consistent choices that signal safety to your body over time. Each chapter offers approachable ideas you can test, adapt, and return to whenever you need support.

Your nervous system can learn calm again. Let this gentle guide walk with you as you rebuild trust with your body, soften your stress response, and create a life that feels more grounded, steady, and safe from the inside out.
