Self-Regulation Time!

Containment is one of my fave ways to regulate. It's simple, and only requires something that puts safe, nurturing pressure on the body.

🧥This can be things like a weighted blanket, heavy sweater, swaddle in a blanket, a long deep hug from someone you care about.

🫶 Go on, give it. ago, and see how comforting it can feel.

🩷 Love yourself.

🫶 The extent that we can authentically show up for others has a lot to do with the self-care and self-love relationship we have with ourselves.

To show up authentically to others and ourselves means tracking triggers, limiting beliefs, old ways to trying to prove worth and lovability, tracking the ways you might perform for others to be seen , met, heard or to hide being your true self.

😍 To support being able to self-reflect and be with our unhealed wounds and ways of being, self-care is really important.

What are some ways you honour your needs? What's your go-to (that's healthy for the mind, body and soul)?

If you don't do a lot of self-care, what's one small action you can take today?

🩷 Love yourself!

Self-Regulation Time!

As we roll into peak holiday time, whilst lots of joy is abound, it's also common for tensions, triggers, frustrations to rise as we spend time with our nearest and dearest.

Here's a quick an easy self-regulation tool, to give you a moment to pause before reacting and give you space to respond instead.

❓🧠Ask yourself: "What helps me know I am here right now?"

👀 👂Then tune into things like sounds, smells, things you can see in immediate environment, physiological sensations in your body (e.g., heart rate, breathing rate areas you may be holding tension, tight jaw, shoulders raised etc) - be as specific as possible.

🙏Then, once you've taken some moments to track things, notice how you have calmed, regulated and then choose how you want to respond in the now.

🫶 Go for it!

Today, choose YOU!

🩷 Love yourself!

Create the connections you truly want at current age.

Any relationship where you need to be less than your fabulous self, to feel loved or valued, is too expensive on self-worth, self-love self-connection.

Know what you want, move toward it and move away from connections that devalue you.

🩷 Love yourself.

An underrated skill in partner relationship is being transparent about the capacity you do / don’t have emotionally and energetically available for your partner on any given day, in any given moment.

This is honouring where you are at, and speaking your truth in a boundaried and loving way and negotiating contact where you can genuinely show up.

Self-Regulation time!

If you're feeling dysregulated in some way, a quick and easy way to bring yourself back into the present moment, is to identify 3 or more things of the same colour, in your immediate environment.

Go on, amp up your level of grounding!

The awesome power of sharing appreciation in couple relationships!

❓How often do you and your partner share what you appreciate each other?

🩷 Do you feel seen, met, valued, appreciated by your partner? Do you think your partner feels seen, met, valued, appreciated by you?

👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨 One tool is to send a minute or two a day on sharing one of more things that you appreciate about your partner from the present day. This shows that you are paying attention and tracking the goodness in your partner.

Try it out and see what unfolds in your connection.
