Reconnecting with Ourselves

When we’re weighed down by the heaviness of feeling alone, it can be hard to even think about conjuring up the energy to be connective, much less actually reach out to others. But we can start small by making little investments in our own energy bank to build the internal resources we need to look outward. Remind yourself of your worth by taking time just for you.

 Ask yourself: when was the last time I did something just for the pleasure of it? What’s a small thing I could do today for my own Good? A nap? A trip to the park? Create something.

Editing Eye

When it comes to interior design, always maintain an editing eye. Update door handles, change rugs and cushions, and eliminate clutter from shelves and tabletops. Small modifications can make big impacts to how your space feels and functions.

P.A.C.E.

Practice P.A.C.E., (Permission,Awareness and Anchor,Compassion,Envision), an informal mindfulness practice, to help you gain perspective and balance when journeying through a transition: Pause throughout your day when feeling out of sorts. Take a few mindful breaths. Bring your attention to the felt sense of your body and your feet in contact with the earth. Offer yourself some grace. Acknowledge any reactivity. Label your emotions and any losses or ambiguities. Notice and soften into any holding or tightness in your body, as best you can. Allow yourself space and time to experience the full range of feelings associated with choosing to grow and change. Acknowledge your courage and commitment. Compassionately direct your energy toward things in your immediate life that you can impact/control. Practice self-compassion. Engage with others. Ask for support, ideas. Share your journey and experiences with those you trust. Remember, by nature we are social creatures and none of us does it alone.
