Tonight my tiny human loooost it before bed
*I didn’t try to calm him down* at all, and I don’t have anyone to “tap in” as I’ve been a single mum since pregnant for majority of my experience.
If I had shut it down, where do they go?
They’ll interrupt sleep, pop up next time his tower falls over and he didn’t want it to, they’ll show up at the dinner table in a few days time when they resurface and bubble on over, if they keep getting pushed down over and over.
They don’t just disappear because we say stop 😬
emotions are not supposed to be calmed, they are not something to fix and it’s a completely solid response to life sometimes.. yep adults need to remember this too
I held the boundaries. Let him feel what he needed. Watched his energy shift from mental words, physical reactions, emotional waves and loved on him as they moved through and there was NO talking about it at that time. He just needed to feel.
Making space to feel as an adult (hopefully) looks different than it does for children.. less yelling, less hitting things and less throwing daggers for words and regretting it.. like I said, hopefully haha
This is what we do on the mat here. Yin yoga and bresthwork are for you to practice being with everything that’s here for you. The emotions, the stories, the tension, and to learn to be present with yourself. To accept you just as you are. To love on the little parts of you that are not what you necessarily want, but are here anyway for whatever reason.
That practice, goes into your daily life and you learn to hold yourself in new ways moment to moment.
The combination of yin yoga, and breath is coming for a rare Sunday session with the mind, body and emotional aspects all hit so you know it’s going to be a good one.
If you want tickets, I hope to see you there. No one expects perfection, but we do need to practice this life and regulation thing more. We all need it.
