I was recently interviewed on the Waking Up One Podcast about the huge role your nervous system plays in healing, thriving, and pretty much every single part of your...well, everything to do with you and your life.

Hey, I'm still having technical issues that limits what I can post so I thought I'd post something cute - this collection of mugs with my adorable spooky/autumn designs.

These make great gifts for yourself and pretty much anyone else. I am still uploading designs and can accept product requests if you have something in mind that's not a coffee mug...just tell me what you're looking for in the comments!

Not every feeling you have is relative to what's happening right now, sometimes it's old stuff coming up to the surface. Old, unprocessed feelings or a sense that something happening now may be a threat to your safety or wellbeing. And sometimes our feelings are actually other people's feelings we are carrying a sense of responsibility for (usually as a protective mechanism we learned in the past).

Asking yourself this question before taking a deep dive into your feelings can help disrupt emotional patterns that feel overwhelming, uncomfortable, scary af, or like it's difficult to function in the wake (read: tsunami) of emotions...

It gives you an opportunity to trust yourself, reassure your nervous system of safety, and set down things you don't need to carry right now.

Just a quick update that I'm having some tech (and life) issues that have impaired my ability to post reels/videos, and pretty much everything else too while I continue to follow up on the support ticket to get things back up and running.

Meanwhile, I'll be over here screaming into the abyss and preparing stuff to share with you about the online Nervous System Support Circles I'm hosting starting Nov 5th at 7pm EST.

These NS Support Circles will be recurring, open to both members AND non-members of my Self-Healing Support Community, and will help you support your nervous system regularly so you feel more connected to yourself and your body, more relaxed and centered, and better equipped [by growing your capacity to handle and recover from stress] to get through the day, get through the upcoming holidays, and continue to take an active role against fascism.

Regular NS Support will also help you gain more understanding of the [SUPER IMPORTANT] role your nervous system plays in every.single.part of your human experience from health, sleep, anxiety, decisions, behaviors, ability to make things happen for yourself, and more and what you can do about it - THE VERY THING YOUR NS NEEDS MOST!

I should also mention that these NS Support Circles are free to attend, with an option to tip. While tips are welcome, they are not required, because I believe everyone deserves regulation and coregulation support for their nervous system.

Anyway, you can sign up for a circle and subscribe to my event calendar if you want to be notified of new events (link in bio)...and reels/videos/more posts will return as soon as the abyss gets back to me regarding my scream into it (and my tech issues get resolved)!

Time for a quick check-in with yourself: what are you feeling right now or today?

I used to struggle to even know how I felt. I knew I was usually anxious and the most commonly identified emotion I had was anger or frustration but that's because those were the two 'safest' emotions for me to feel, not because I wasn't feel ALL THE THINGS.

I learned new ways to deal with feelings that puts me more in control of my emotions than ever before, and you can too. The state of your nervous system plays an important role, as does how you respond to your emotions.

You learned how to respond to them through past experiences and what was modeled for you growing up...but is it working for you? The answer is NO if you experience intense emotions, being on edge, symptoms, issues, stress/overwhelm, or being in survival mode ON REPEAT.

It starts with noticing how you feel and 'naming your feelings'. I learned that this new response took some of the power away from my feelings and gave it back to me. The next step after naming them is supporting your nervous system to feel calmer until I got through the feeling and sensations associated with the feelings.

Naming feelings seems fairly simple, right? Well, my nervous system was so dysregulated that even that was close to impossible. I literally could not clarify what I was feeling, it was too overwhelming. I had to start small with naming my feelings with things like "I feel feelings", "I feel too many feelings to name", "I feel like my chest might burst", "I feel sh*tty", and whatever I was able to describe in the moment.

The image of the 'List of emotions I actually feel' can be a legit start to naming your emotions. I know they're kinda funny, but humor is my favorite form of self-care!

If you relate in any way, and are ready to shift your response to emotions to take your power back so your emotions aren't running your life, and your nervous system learns that you're ready and willing to heal and thrive...check out the full blog post via the link in my bio

A quick question for you to ask yourself:

Do you hold your breath when you're stressed, tense, or anxious?

This is how your body let's you know it's in fight, flight, or freeze.

If you notice this is a thing you do, a repetitive pattern in response to stress, you can use that information (biofeedback from your body) to choose a new response that can help you recover so you can restore comfort, relaxation, and get out of the stress/survival state of fight, flight, or freeze.

Image states "Because you have a body that experiences all your thoughts, feelings, and stresses, it is necessary to address these things at the level of body to fully recover from them and build resilience."

It's time for and so you can get your cuteness on and rock this day/week/month/rest of the year!

I'm kicking off this week with some October/fall vibes with the cutest potato boi, Loki, telling me in his extra special way that he needs food.

Yup, he knows he's cute...and if you didn't already know this, you do now!

About Me & My Work

Hi, I’m Michelle. I am as practical as I am intuitive...or is it the other way around? Either way, my approach is practical and intuitive. My passion is learning about and understanding anatomy and physiology, and how past pain, trauma, coping mechanisms, and conditioning affect them. My approach to healing, growth, and transformation is one of wholeness. You are not *just* your arm, foot, or heart. You are not *just* your thoughts or feelings, even thought they are shaping your reality. You are not *just* your pain or what happened to you.

You are a dynamically functioning, multi-faceted being! Much of our issues, symptoms, pain, illness, and stuck patterns (in life, relationship, health, and more) are inter-related to your past experiences, conditioning, fears, and other subconscious factors that are still operating under the radar. It’s like the iceberg analogy you’ve likely heard before - that you only see a some of the iceberg, the largest part is submerged under the surface...but is still exists and is part of the whole iceberg. Well, your subconscious bits are part of the whole you, and they are creating the majority of what you experience in your reality. Are you ready for a higher level of self-awareness that allows your body to heal more effectively? Are you ready to disrupt old, limiting patterns and FEEL BETTER? Are you willing to tend to your needs in a way that supports your whole self? If so, you are in the right place and I’m going to show you how to make this happen and empower you with tools to continue on your own.

My whole purpose here (on this page and in the world) is to empower you, facilitate deep healing, and help you discover how amazing and powerful you truly are. I am here to help you unpack your old pain, story, conditioning, or limitations...then guide you toward new outcomes and possibilities. Let’s unpack your past pain and limitations, rediscover your REAL story under everything the world has written upon you, and put some empowering tools in your toolbox. You are in the right place for healing or coaching sessions that address the whole you, for learning self-care that activates self-healing, and for taking back your personal power!

Everyone is welcome here - be sure to download your free RESET technique and look for additional resources, such as videos or downloadables on my website www.MichelleClinard.com. You can find a lot of these resources, as well as offers, training, and more on this FB page or for a more private conversation focused on providing womxn a space for healing, growth, and introspection - you are invited to join the Womxn’s Healing Collective group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/874396239560410/
