🐾retirement age just keeps getting higher🐾

Mr Luther is now earning his boneos by doing some admin for me, hard graft at 70 (14 in big doggo years).

Since he can’t be part of a therapeutic session on screen (he can’t walk up the stairs anymore) he’s happy to take any queries on his Barbie laptop downstairs. Don’t panic, he’s had a fort made, a soft place to lie and encouraging pets

You’re welcome to keep him motivated by sending ‘good boi’ messages (because he is in fact the best boi)

🏝️How to Be🏝️

A follow on from ‘doing’, ‘being’ takes practise

Its ok if slowing down and being has felt scary, it’s ok if it’s difficult, it’s ok to ‘titrate’ into the experience. We’re learning a new skill, and like every new skill it takes time.

Tips:
🏝️practise recalling a warm / good memory, or create a visualisation of somewhere that feels good & safe
🏝️use sensory items: smell, touch, taste to activate (bring energy) or deactivate (bring calm)
🏝️practise grounding: whether that’s standing, sitting or laying down - focus on how we are ‘held’ / ‘supported’ by the ground. Or focus on sensations where our body touches the ground.
🏝️mindfulness: notice shapes, colours, textures, smells in the room

*while moving into ‘being’ can be helpful, I recommend being guided / led by a mental health professional. ‘Being’ can be scary and it’s helpful to have someone who you can process that with.

📆Doing📆

‘Doing’ can be how we cope: distraction, busy-ness, never standing still, struggling to relax

But the art of doing is often acquired, it’s an adaptation we have made because being busy is safer than just being

I hate the word avoidance (although I’ve used it in this post); but doing can be about survival

Staying still, relaxing, being - can all feel terrifying when our internal world is chaos - so instead we ‘do’
