My tips for a harmonious day
Creating harmony in the moment,
Ever been on your phone or computer and shocked by how many tabs you have opened at once? Maybe you've just been moving from one thing to the next. Or you were juggling many tasks at once, when you noticed how many tabs were open you felt chaotic, overwhelmed, or even judged yourself!
I've been there, it's all good, my friend.
Our nervous systems are our internal processing systems and are repeatedly taking in new information, and "opening new tabs" until that information gets processed and integrated.
One "tab" could be the fear you felt when you heard the news that day. Another "tab" could be the emotions you're still processing about witnessing your partner's reaction to a stressful day. And yet another "tab" may be your own negative self chatter, judging your behavior.
You may not even notice all of the "tabs" open until they're overwhelming, or *insert other frequent emotion you experience.*
This is your body's version of a "check engine light," expressing through emotion, tension or symptoms, that you've departed from homeostasis and are building on stress & tension.
So how do we close the "tabs?"
Just like the time it takes to physically close the tabs on your computer, we insert the intentional time to express, process, and integrate the experiences that build on throughout our days.
Some examples of this:
- After you experience something emotional or heavy, close your eyes for a few moments. Connect with something stable & steady, your breath, an imagined tree in your favorite nature spot, or gravity and just stay here a few moments. If emotions come up, let them move through you like waves, tears are a wonderful sign of release.
- Pause and give yourself a hug during your day. Or squeeze each finger tip on your hands, up your arms and to your shoulders. Touch help to calm us and bring us into a state where we can process.
- Nervous system integration sessions are specifically designed to help you process and integrate the physical, mental, & emotional stress and tension that's built on a daily basis, and to re-pattern the deeper core patterns that build on over a lifetime.
- In bed at the end of your day, feeling safe, held, and comfortable in your bed reflect through a lens of gratitude on everything that day from highs to lows. Lows are opportunities, to grow, learn and align yourself more fully with who you are meant to be.
