Do you think the food and drink we eat, along with what we put on our bodies (lotion, perfume, etc) plays a role on our health and well-being?

A simple tool I was reminded of today while taking notes in a life-coaching course and that I have used on myself and with clients at Kreate What U Want.

This concept is called an anchor ~ and it’s a powerful (yet simple) way to support your emotional state.

Here’s how it works 👇

When you’re feeling genuinely happy, calm, or confident, you intentionally anchor that feeling by touching a specific place on your body (like your hand). Over time, your brain begins to associate that physical touch with the emotional state.

Later~ when you’re feeling low, overwhelmed, or sad; you can return to that same touch point to help your nervous system reconnect to that grounded, positive feeling.

🧠 Why this matters:

Our bodies remember experiences just as much as our minds do. Pairing emotion with physical sensation gives us a tool we can access anytime, anywhere.

This is one of those practices that looks simple on paper… but can be incredibly empowering in real life ~ especially for kids, teens, and adults learning how to regulate emotions without suppressing them.

I love taking concepts like this from coaching courses and translating them into real, usable tools for everyday life. Awareness + practice = empowerment.

💜 What’s one feeling you’d love to anchor more often: calm, confidence, joy, safety?

Share your thoughts, save this for later, or pass it along to someone who might need it.

Happy Friday♡

The most important relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself♡

02/06/2026

As a mom, I am doing more than raising a child. I am breaking cycles:

▪︎ I am unlearning reactions that were modeled to me.
▪︎ I am choosing pauses over punishment.
▪︎ Connection over control.
▪︎ Curiosity over fear.
▪︎ Hugs over shouting.
▪︎ Listening over writing my child off.
▪︎ Understanding over dismissing.

There are moments I catch myself mid-reaction and think, “This ends with me.”

Not because my parents did not love me ~ they did the best they could with what they knew. But because I get to choose differently.

I am teaching my child that emotions are safe. That big feelings are not wrong: they are messages. That communication matters more than perfection. That love does not disappear during hard moments.

Breaking generational patterns is not loud or dramatic. Most days, it is quiet. It is choosing to listen when it would be easier to react. It is apologizing when I get it wrong. It is regulating myself so my child can learn to regulate too.

And let me be honest ~ this work is not easy. But it’s worth it♡

Because healing does not just change me. It changes what gets passed down.

♡ Here is to the parents doing the inner work.
♡ Here is to the ones rewriting the story.
♡ Here is to the cycles that end: and the new ones we lovingly begin.

✨ If this resonates, you are not alone.
Leave a 💜 or share this with a parent who’s doing the work too.
