We cannot heal with urgency. We cannot heal with busyness. If you have an agenda with healing, it will leave you with frustration, set-backs, and a whole mix of emotions.

Healing happens in slowness. There is no other way. You cannot be healing in a calm, rested state while approaching life with urgency.

Even if/when our schedules get busy, because they will, we still must find moments of slowness.

When we experience high stress in life, we dissociate from many things including our own body. If symptoms are ignored, the body continues to layer multiple symptoms until you start to listen. This can look like layers of tension, pain, anxiety, fear, or rigidity which will all influence our nervous system’s adaptability.

When this happens, the nervous system lacks the ‘opportunity’ to grow and heal and we become embodied into a state of survival. Survival strategies cloud our ability to communicate, make aligned decisions, have a clear vision of our purpose, choose chaos over peace, pleasure and excitement over consistency and safety, it drives us to look for an quick answer as opposed to moving through a process.

Safety is the foundation for a resilient nervous system. Safety to slow down. Safety to be present. Safety to feel joy and happiness. Safety to feel love. Safety to rest.

What are some other ways you’ve learned to slow down?

5️⃣ Parenting Tips Bringing Teens & Parents Together

I remember clashing with my parents, especially my mom. I was a logical, independent thinker, and her “because I said so” boomer mentality led to constant conflicts. She often justified things with “my mom did it this way,” like there was only one way to parent, passed down through generations. (Let’s just say it didn’t go well when I once said, “Well, look how YOU turned out!” during an argument.) So, when I became a dad to two teens (now almost 18 and 15), I knew I wanted to parent differently—based on who they are as unique individuals. I even asked them for their top five ideas on how parents and teens can connect better in 2024. Here’s what we came up with:

As most of you know, last week was a very hard week for me I lost my sweet puppy Delilah. Delilah was only 2 1/2 years old and I had done everything I could to keep her safe so that nothing would happen to her. We all loved her so much! We have a fenced in backyard but I still called the electric fence company to come because Delilah would dig underneath. Then I realized that if the kids left the house they could let her out Accidentally. I didn’t want her to get hit by a car so I had the electric fence company come back and fix the front yard. Unfortunately, our sweet Delilah got an auto immune disease and passed away within 10 days despite our efforts to try to save her. This has been very hard and devastating for our family. I’ve had to use my skills of resilience this week to get through. Here are some of the things that I’ve done to help.
1. I gave myself grace when I didn’t feel like doing anything.
2. I slept in almost every day for a week.
3. I gave myself a treat multiple times a day of chocolate dove hearts.
4. I shared my pain with people I cared about and was open about what I was going through.
5. I shared memories and pictures of Delilah and tried to think about all the love I have for her

There are some things that I did that were probably not as healthy. I stayed up very late at night crying. Eventually, I knew this was not helping me be productive and was only making me sadder. Although I am not ready to get a puppy, I decided to start looking for puppies. I realized how beautiful Delilah is and how long it will take me to find another puppy like her. But being able to look at the cute puppies to think about the love I have for Delilah and the foresight of being able to share love with another animal has given me hope to keep going. I have also received Delilah’s box because it was too cold to bury her, it now sits on my mantle and I have made it a tradition to give it a hug every day and to tell Delilah how much I love her. Our stories are the things we share in Wolf Pact . We share our stories, strategies and skills to help us be stronger and more resilient. For more please read our latest blog in bio!
