When the mind is difficult to calm and it is in the drivers seat, come down to the body. Drink water. Stretch. Do yoga. Lay with legs up the wall. Do some tapping. Meditate. Lay under a weighted blanket. Sleep.

Acknowledge the unhelpful thinking and gently focus on nourishing the body.

Then feed the helpful mind with wisdom from a book, podcast, YouTube, Connect to your principles and how you want to live.

Elizabeth Gilbert has a way of writing about her experience that draws you in. We all experience life differently, but the intricacy of the way she writes about her thoughts and feelings is truly intimate. Anyone with a codependency or overfunctioning tendency or facing addiction in any way may resonate with her experiences. The goal in essence is to find ways of loving self so entirely there is less need to go out into the world seeking it. We can show up more fully for others from a centred and solid space.

Hold a memory for the good times and take on the lessons to help guide your future. They are likely to have memories snd lessons different to yours.

On a completely unemotional level every person we interact with helps us to evolve and grow.

Loving people does not mean we have to stop loving them. But loving them and loving you may involve letting them go.

If you can pull back enough to see the patterns in a relationship and notice some of the moving parts of the pattern, it is possible to begin to see your own part in adding life to the pattern. Sometimes the pattern may only be obvious in times of intensity. Sometimes you may see the subtly of how you exist within it in the everyday interactions. Once you see it, you then have the power to stop and think about how you'd like to operate within the pattern. Working on self is one way of increasing capacity and agency in self.

As an overfunctioner it can be difficult to step back and watch struggle. But it is possible to put more thought into how you approach a challenging situation. There may be something that you can begin stepping back from and build from there. letting go little by little. It may not be helpful or necessary to completely relax.

As you step back eventually it may allow space for others to step in.

Creativity can tap into a part of the brain where time is lost, challenges are forgotten and the mind achieves genuine rest. If the unhelpful mind is active and trying to take the lead in life, it can be helpful to centre in the body with a creative experience. It doesn't have to be about creating the greatest piece of art or the most brilliant poem or number one song to be effective. Art is something we can all access. It is the process of creating that is most effective. When we fill our lives with art we can fill our lives with peace. When we finish creating, the tactic is to use the state of peace, to return up to the mind, consciously tapping into helpful ideas and principles about actions moving forward.
