I hate to be the one to tell you this but…⁣
⁣
𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁.⁣
⁣
It’s wired to repeat what feels familiar, not necessarily what feels good. ⁣
⁣
That’s how patterns form. They’re protective, not punitive. ⁣
⁣
🧠 Your nervous system seeks safety in sameness, even when it keeps you stuck.⁣
⁣
🧠 The shift begins when you become aware that something has got to give. ⁣
⁣
🧠 When you notice the loop, you can interrupt it with mindful neuroscience-based tools like Havening. ⁣
⁣
🧠 This first step is you choosing to 𝘏𝘜𝘎 𝘪𝘵 𝘖𝘶𝘵 with yourself. ⁣
⁣
🧠This is compassionate self-care.⁣

HUGS. Hil⁣

Change feels messy. But that’s your brain growing stronger. 💪🧠⁣
⁣
Neuroplasticity isn’t about being perfect. It’s about practicing new habits. And having a bit of ⁣
𝗛umor, 𝗨nderstanding, and 𝗚ratitude during the process. That’s building resilience. That’s the 𝙃𝙐𝙂 𝘐𝘵 𝘖𝘶𝘵 way.⁣
⁣
Just ask Lucy! She’s kneading through that dough like a neuroplasticity pro! The brain works the same way. 🍞😅⁣
⁣
HUGS and… hearth! 😉 Hil⁣

⁣
Healing isn’t about someone else doing it for you, it’s about learning to 𝙃𝙐𝙂 𝙞𝙩 𝙊𝙪𝙩 with yourself. ⁣
⁣
A good practitioner or coach is like an assistant detective helping you solve the mystery. Not doing it for you. ⁣
⁣
🔍 When you start being the detective on your own case, you take back control of your emotional narrative. You stop chasing quick fixes and start following the clues your body and brain have been leaving you all along.⁣
⁣
🧠 That’s what choosing to 𝙃𝙐𝙂 𝙄𝙩 𝙊𝙪𝙩 with yourself is all about. Humor, Understanding, and Gratitude mixed with neuroscience-backed tools that teach your nervous system safety, not stress.⁣
⁣
👇 What’s one “clue” you’ve discovered about your healing lately? Share it below. ⁣

It’s all about the arts!⁣
⁣
🌟 What a great night honoring the amazing work of EMC ARTS, Erin and team and and all they are doing for children’s theatre and wellbeing. ⁣
⁣
🎭 I was a theatre kid. It changed my life. It gave me a safe place to be myself, practice my talents and build community. ⁣
⁣
✨ Bringing holistic ways to be kind to the mind to kids has always been a passion of mine. Aligning with others who feel the same makes it even better. ⁣
⁣
🌟 Highlights of the evening: ⁣
⁣
💕 Sharing the experience with friends. My BFF Jenny Orsini Eventsand dear friend Cody Rounds-Live Painter
⁣
🎤 Seeing the Tony award winner Beth Leavel on stage! ⁣
⁣
🎨 Getting to know various artists and be part of the art. ⁣
⁣
📺 Spending time with one of my childhood heroes… Carole from The Magic Garden. GenX fangirling. Shout out PIX kids from the tristate area. ⁣
⁣
💛 HUG it Out moment: You may never know the difference you make in someone’s life. But you keep doing what you’re doing because you believe in what you do. Then years later, you’re sitting cross legged on the floor like you’re five years old and you get to say, “you made me feel safe and valued.” That is who Paula and Carole were for me and millions of 70s kids in NY/NJ.
⁣
Maybe for you it was someone else.

Maybe you’re that person to someone else. ⁣
⁣
Continue following your passion. You never know whose life you’ll touch move and inspire. ⁣

⁣
Before every speaking event, I love giving my brain a little warm-up. Brain games don’t just boost focus, they help create new neural pathways that keep your mind sharp and resilient.⁣

Now it’s your turn! 👀⁣

Some days are harder than others…⁣
⁣
Especially when health is on the line. But finding calm in the chaos? That’s where the real healing begins.⁣
⁣
🧠 Havening helps me self-regulate, self-soothe, and stay grounded…anytime, anywhere. Neuroscience doesn’t lie.⁣
⁣
🏥 During a visit to the UVA Emily Couric Cancer Center, I found a peaceful meditation room and took a moment to 𝘏𝘜𝘎 𝘪𝘵 𝘖𝘶𝘵 with myself.⁣
I even added a little art therapy and mindfulness to the mix. ⁣
⁣
👇 Want to learn how to do the same? Comment HUG and I’ll send details for my next FREE Havening Happy Hour or upcoming trainings.⁣
⁣
💛 HUGS to healing hands,⁣
