notes on safety šŸ–¤ being able to feel safe is probably the single most important aspect of mental health. not just physical safety, but emotionally and mentally safe: being truly heard and seen and respected by the people around us, feeling that we are held in someone elseā€™s mind and heart.
right now our country is in a war. we are in fight or flight. we are living in trauma. we are living in fear. so today, I want to talk about safety. I sent this message out to my email list this morning (have you subscribed? the link is in my profile), and now I want to share it with you. . one of the tools Iā€™ve learned while managing ptsd is grounding myself when I start feeling panicked and anxious (which, tbh, weā€™re all feeling right now). . To ground yourself, you use the five senses: sound, touch, smell, taste, and sight to immediately connect you with the present, not all the shit thatā€™s happening. . See: Acknowledge five things you see around you. Start with your hands. Look at your left hand, then your right hand. Then look at what your body is touching. Is it a chair? Is it the ground? Continue with three more things. For example, your clothes, your shoes, and your phone (duh). . Touch: Acknowledge four things you can touch around you. List out the 4 things you can feel against your skin. Whatā€™s something you can touch? Grab the closest thing to you. Touch it. Feel its textures. Is it soft or hard? Does it have bumps or is it smooth? Is it small or big? . Sound: Stop and listen. List three things you can hear. This needs to be external, do not focus on your thoughts. Notice sounds you can hear closest to you. Is there music on? A fan buzzing? Are there people talking? Are there cars outside? Can you can hear a clock? Are there any dogs? . Smell: Notice any smells around you. Perfume? Coffee? Do you smell? . Taste: One thing you can taste. What does the inside of your mouth taste like? Lunch? Coffee? Nothing? Did you brush your teeth this morning? Itā€™s okay if you didnā€™t, thereā€™s always tonight. . The goal of this is to shift your focus from the turmoil in your mindā€”I know weā€™re all thinking about gun control, mass shootings, how horrible our president is, late stage capitalism...but the one thing you can control is your energy right now. . I hope this helped. good luck today, youā€™re going to be great. . cheers, brl
summer is for... spf, sandals, sunglasses, breezy dresses, long shadows, cool drinks, bbqing, diy projects, picking blackberries in the front yard, evening walks, late nights, star gazing, j o y
just turned in an article about miniature schnauzers and this guy is laying next to me on the couch and Iā€™m feeling very grateful for this life šŸ„°
What sets you on fire? What gives you that warm feeling in your chest? What lights your chest up? One of my favorite parts of CWā€™s Jane The Virgin is how they show when a character is feeling loveā€“they literally create a heart over the characterā€™s chest, glowing red, and pulsing. To me, itā€™s the perfect represenation of that feeling of fullness in your chest when everything just clicks and feels right. Itā€™s not limited to romantic love, though thatā€™s likely one of the most common occurences. Iā€™ve had it when I write something that Iā€™m really proud of, when Iā€™ve traveled somewhere breathtakingly beautiful, and when Iā€™ve really connected with someone (or they make me laugh so hard it hurts). In those moments, I feel like I can be truly me. Those are the moments I want to chase in my life, and I think you should too.
I love dogs so much that now I get paid to write about them! šŸ• šŸ„° rover.com/blog
