Today, I want you to change your guilt around yelling to compassion for yourself for being dysregulated. Sometimes, we power through our days, weeks, months, and years without addressing our needs. Our brain and nervous system have needs too. If we don’t address them, we can’t nurture them.
What needs does your nervous system have? What causes you to feel “off”? What makes you feel warm and connected inside?
As a challenge this week, I would like you to start using the terms regulated or dysregulated. Listen to this episode to learn how to do this.
See you there!
