First tip incoming 👇
This series is definitely worth hitting save and follow for as I offer up a series of tips to help us overcome all the added stresses and strains that seem to come to a head at this time of year.
Constantly keeping busy is a trauma response.
We might not think of ourselves as traumatised, but if our minds and bodies have had to deal with what they've found to be a stressful event, then it's likely that same mind and body will be responding as for trauma.
Which means heightened stress levels, higher cortisol, anxiety, fight, flight, freeze, and faun, (why we say Yes even more 🙄), leading to more sleeplessness and more to do.
Whether it's trauma from stress, anxiety, grief, or a particular incident, I get it, and I've got you.
These tips and techniques will be things you can do yourself, and if, as ever, you need more targeted support, my consultations are always free and without obligation. Or how about a Seasonal Stress Smashing session to get you from frazzled to fabulous. Literally melting away those stresses and strains so you can just get on and really enjoy the bits you want.
⭐️⭐️⭐️First tip: Breathwork. I know 🙄. Hear me out.
The antidote to busy-ness is pausing. So take time to do some targeted breathing.
Plant your feet. Notice how connected you are to the ground. Now breathe.
Slowly. Making the out breath longer than the in.
Continue 'til you notice a release which might be a yawn, a burp or muscle twitch.
Check in and notice how you're feeling after each round and before and after.
You did that!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
