“Regulation” is not emotional elimination.

If a nervous system regulation tool is being used to get rid of an uncomfortable feeling (or to chase a preferred one) it becomes avoidance. And avoidance doesn’t build capacity or internal safety. It just postpones the experience, and those feelings will eventually play out somewhere in our behaviour.

When regulation becomes a strategy to avoid discomfort, it subtly reinforces judgement through unconscious beliefs like:
“I shouldn’t be feeling this.”
“I can’t handle this.”

These beliefs alone keep the nervous system and survival mind on edge and influence how we experience the world around us. This is not a problem, it’s just the conditioned algorithm.

This is where Self Enquiry becomes an important companion to nervous system tools because Self Enquiry helps us to discern between a real threat and psychological fear. It is a practical process that helps us disidentify from the beliefs that take shape as sensations in the body and get mistaken to be who we fundamentally are.

This work is best practiced through small, contained exposures in lower-hanging fruit situations. Respecting the nervous system and create safety in the body by gradually building capacity through returning to awareness in the face of contraction or resistance.

Regulation tools are not escape strategies.
They are supportive anchors that can help your system feel safely enough to witness what is happening in your direct experience without collapsing, rescuing or being controlled by it.

When practiced this way, something can naturally shift. Through repetition, your capacity to be with changing or intensifying sensations expands, and self-trust grows.

You discover that feelings you once believed were unbearable are actually survivable. Reactivity softens over time. And spontaneous aligned action becomes more automatic… even in the presence of challenging feelings.

Making more aligned and authentic choices don’t come from judging your way or thinking harder and longer, into making those choices.

You know if you’ve made a choice from fear and survival because it feels off and you might wonder “why do I keep making these choices?”

We have to have the capacity to make a different choice.

Capacity comes from the degree of spaciousness we have to witness our thoughts and feelings without automatically identifying with them.

If I’m totally identified with the belief “I’m not good enough” - as a fact - then I won’t have the capacity to make a choice that doesn’t reflect that core wound of insecurity and lack. The nervous system reacts to that belief and feeling state associated with it, and choices/actions/behaviour automatically follow.

How do we create that space?

Practices like Self Enquiry and Self Recognition help us to build the internal muscle of returning our attention to awareness over and over again. This naturally creates more distance and space to witness thoughts and feelings, for more authentic choices to emerge.

These practices help us to be with really challenging feelings without suppressing or reacting, to confirm in our direct experience that if I can observe this, I am not it, and therefore I don’t have to be controlled by this belief or feeling.

This is not just a nice idea, it is highly practical and becomes evident through direct experience.

I wouldn’t do anything differently as it all led me to where I am now. These are things that I ended up doing, but ultimately would have been helpful if I did sooner. I started recovery again many, many times over 17 years. Sometimes even multiple times within the same day.

The truth is, I couldn’t have done anything differently back then because I didn’t yet have the nervous system capacity to make other choices.

It wasn’t a personal failure. No amount of judgement or thinking harder would have cultivated self-trust.

Prioritising safety, respecting nervous system capacity, and cultivating embodied awareness are the biggest things I would focus on sooner.

The way I was able to gradually expand my capacity to be with challenging feelings was through practicing Self Enquiry and Self Recognition Meditation.

Over time, these practices helped me to witness thoughts and feelings without automatically being controlled by them (but that did not come without its challenges and wobbles).

Building this internal muscle of returning my attention to awareness over and over again, naturally started to be reflected in my external choices.

Taking aligned action is then what started to deepen my self-trust beyond the idea that I can’t handle this feeling.

My take on 2026 INS & OUTS!

Everything I have written here is something I have seen and enquired to within myself and also supported clients to witness and enquire for themselves. I see all of these as life-long invitations, not just for one year. These are just as much invitations for myself, as they are for you.

Take what resonates and leave what doesn’t 🤍

The INS are invitations to bring awareness, openness, authenticity and love as the driving force behind how we show up and meet life in all of its experiences (regardless of our preferences).

The OUTS are unconscious patterns to notice and explore with curiosity, not to get rid of, fix, or judge, but to better understand ourselves and discover where our true place of stability comes from.

The biggest ‘IN’ is learning to not make any of these patterns, conditioning, or core wounds showing up as a problem. They are guaranteed to show up!

They are invitations to meet ourselves more deeply and honestly, release everything that is not who we fundamentally are, expand our capacity to be with uncomfortable feelings, and take practical, aligned action in the world with greater ease and self-trust 🤍

If anything here has sparked something in you and you’re curious to learn how to take these things to enquiry on a practical level, you’re welcome to reach out in my DM’s 💌

Body positivity often says “you should think kind thoughts about your body” which is already coming from judgement with the idea of ‘should’. Judgement does not ultimately dissolve by adding a nicer sounding layer of judgement.

Self Enquiry invites you to notice what’s arising within you in the shape of perceptions/thoughts, beliefs, feelings and sensations without mistaking them for who you fundamentally are, and forcing anything to change.

Why place attention on the fact that you’re witnessing these things? Because if you cannot witness them, they control you.

When you learn how to expand your capacity to be with all experience as it is, how you relate to your body naturally shifts.

“Self-love” goes beyond a nice sounding concept and is confirmed in your direct experience as the very fact of your being 🤍

2026 let’s goooo ✨

Notice if the things you want are coming from the need to experience a certain feeling...

The things we want, on their own aren’t a problem, it’s important to notice the ‘how’ in which we go about trying to get/achieve something and enquire to the ‘fuel source’ driving these things (eg. fear or love).

What we are thinking and believing about a situation determines how we suffer it...

What choices are you making that have fear behind them?

Do you believe you are somehow lacking without the thing you want?

What are you hoping/believing it will give you?

Is getting the thing connected to how you want other people to perceive you?

Is there one stress-free reason to keep the belief that “when I get x, then I will feel X”?

If anything comes up for you around this that you would like some support unpacking, please reach out 💌

What is the thing you want, the thing you believe you’re lacking, really promising you?

Is it true?

For all of my teenage years and 20’s, I believed changing my body would protect me from uncomfortable feelings… that if I looked a certain way, I’d finally feel safe and good enough. The truth is, no amount of dieting, restriction, or rigid rules could do that.

Being able to discern what is psychological fear and what is an actual threat is exactly what Self Enquiry helps strengthen. If I can’t witness a feeling, my only options are to try to control it, fix it, numb it, distract myself, or avoid it. This is completely innocent, my survival mind is just trying to keep me safe. However, it was an illusion of safety as the rules I followed had very serious mental and physical consequences.

Through Self Enquiry and Self Recognition Meditation, I continue to anchor trust in my capacity to be with uncomfortable feelings and to witness the thoughts that try to convince me there’s something wrong with me. This has helped me discover a real sense of safety and stability that doesn’t depend on how I look, and an intrinsic sense of enoughness that is always already here.

For years, I felt an overwhelming fear whenever someone tried to take a photo of me. It impacted my relationships and how I experienced the world around me. ...

‘Stay small. Stay agreeable. Stay hidden.’
That voice still likes to show up whenever I move toward what feels deeply aligned, yet incredibly unfamiliar, unknown, and uncomfortable (I’m in big initiation territory at the moment haha)

I was reminded of this poem ‘Start Close In’, today as doubt moved through me like passing clouds.

Start close in,
don’t take the second step
or the third,
start with the first
thing
close in,
the step
you don’t want to take.

David Whyte 🤍

For me, that first (not always easy) step is to soften and notice how doubt is taking shape in my body and allow the feelings to be there without trying to change, fix or get rid of them. This confirms in my direct experience that I’m witnessing this feeling arise in me, it is not greater than my ability to witness it. Once I feel safe to be with the feeling, I then take the most potent and believed doubtful thoughts and place them on the witness stand for sincere questioning.

Self enquiry helps me meet these thoughts with curiosity instead of obedience. This process compassionately and practically untangles inner conflict, allowing space between me and the survival mind, so spontaneous action can arise from clarity and innate resonance, rather than doubt and fear.

Practicing this continuously expands my capacity to keep choosing to show up, moment-to-moment, even when my mind tries to convince me it’s not safe and I’m going to fail. The ‘I’m not enough’ story dissolves and I’m still here. 🦋
