It's okay to do less when you're dealing with more. 💚 Just showing up can be enough.

As you heal, you become more self-aware. You realize that certain beliefs you had are not actually true. You realize that behaviours that may have served you at some point are maladaptive now. You realize that there is a thing called ego that comes in the way of vulnerability and connection. What else would you add here?

I created a similar ‘reminder card’ with a patient a few weeks ago and I thought it might be helpful to share it (with some tweaks) on social media. If you find reminders helpful, I encourage you to save this post to come back to it later.

Take care of your mind and body. Love, Nawal ♥️

We self-regulate by identifying what we’re actually feeling and then responding to it accordingly. Emotions usually do not disappear just because we ignore them. When we avoid what we are feeling, those emotions often show up indirectly, leak out in other ways, or keep the nervous system stuck in stress and reactivity.

Feelings are signals. They help us understand what is happening within us and around us.

In this post are a few common emotions that can lead to avoidance, feeling stuck, or reactive behaviour. I’ve shared a few ways we can try to regulate and respond to these emotions with more awareness.
