Christmas is only 11 days away
What comes up for you when I say that?
Let's do a quick 3 step approach to check in and give yourself some self care.....
Take a Deep Breathe and notice your lungs as they expand on the inhale and deflate on the exhale.
Ok, so 3 step approach.....
Bottom Up (meaning from your body)
What happens in your body when I say "Christmas is only 11 days away"?
What are you feeling?
What are the sensations?
Sideways (about your Bottom Up)
What are you thinking about yourself as you notice what your body is saying?
How is your body responding?
Top Down (meaning from your brain)
What thoughts are you thinking when I say "Christmas is only 11 days away"?
Go ahead a write a few of them down.
Sideways (about your Top Down)
What are you thinking about yourself that you are thinking that?
How is your body responding?
I invite you to again take a Deep Breathe.
Does it feel any different?
It might feel better or a little more staggered than the first time, depending on what came up with those 3 step exercises.
Whatever came up is valid.
It is information you can use to heal and grow and honor your experience.
With 11 days left, we can sometimes get caught up in the hustle and needing to do all the things.
Good job for taking the time to pay attention to you for these few minutes while reading this email.
Well done.
Each time we take time to pay attention to our inner self and show ourselves we matter, we create more capacity within us to trust and honor our intuition - our inner voice and strength.
It's called internal resourcing in somatic work.
You can take another Deep Breathe and let that settle.
Does it feel true?
If so, why? If not, why?
You got this.
Merry Christmas friends!
Remember, ❤️
You Matter. Your Healing Matters. You Are Worth It!
P.S. With all the giving this season, please remember to give yourself time and space to rest and just be.

Not Every Tool Works Every Time Series Continued... Learning about trauma can be really helpful. In fact, trauma education is on my list of Top Down tools because it can explain why we act certain ways. When trauma takes over, we can understand that we are not crazy, we’re just reacting to what happened to us. And, even if other people don’t get it, learning about trauma can be a way to help them understand us better. But it’s important to remember, we’re not learning about trauma to convince...
Not Every Tool Works Every Time Series Continued... In the work of healing trauma, I often invite others (and myself) to notice different things in our body. To notice, means to pay attention. To turn inward. I share something and offer a noticing practice by asking you to notice what is happening in your body.... Or notice what is not happening.... And notice what your mind or heart might be doing.... And notice your breath.... This is a short list of things we could notice. And any of these...
Not Every Tool Works Every Time Series Continued... Vagal Stimulation is a big thing right now. And I love it! Makes sense to me because there are lots of awesome tools included in what is called vagal stimulation. There are tools to stimulate the eyes, the ears, the face.... Try this Eye One Or this Eye One Or this Ear One Or this Facial Acupressure And these are only some of the tools. The vagus nerve is like a traveler. It's called the wandering nerve because it goes all over our body....
