I posted this on IG today and thought it would be worth sharing here as well: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWtiTdqBlk7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I was walking around in denial, like my brain couldn’t fully process what was happening. I was exhausted all the time, but couldn’t sleep at night. Food didn’t taste like anything, and I lost weight without trying. The smallest things felt overwhelming. And then there was the brain fog and that was the part that made me feel the most broken. It was a crazy time, that's for sure.

Here’s mine 🤕

The single most important practice: Notice and name it in the moment. Before you can change the pattern you have to catch it happening. So the first step is simply developing the habit of noticing when you’re shrinking. It sounds like this internally: ∙ I just edited what I was about to say ∙ I just agreed with something I don’t actually agree with ∙ I just made myself smaller so they’d be comfortable You don’t have to do anything differently yet. Just notice. Name it to yourself. That alone begins to change it.

Activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Take time to breathe during the day.💕
