Well-being and happiness\u2026 Are they an endless quest, or something we can savour here and now?<\/p>\n
In this little guide, I share a few simple sources of inspiration to:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Soothe the nervous system<\/li>\n
- Support your energy<\/li>\n
- Welcome stress gently<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
One tip at a time. One breath at a time. One step at a time.<\/p>\n
Welcoming restlessness<\/h2>\n
Inner restlessness can show up in different forms, such as:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Agitation<\/li>\n
- Mental fatigue or brain fog<\/li>\n
- Anxiety<\/li>\n
- Sensory overload (feeling overwhelmed)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Instead of fighting it or trying to make it disappear at all costs, we can learn to welcome it with kind curiosity, the way we would welcome a loved one with attentive listening.<\/p>\n
Without fighting, by letting ourselves feel, calm will come naturally once the turmoil has passed.<\/p>\n
Simple tips for welcoming yourself<\/h2>\n
\nTip #1<\/h3>\n
When social interactions are draining<\/strong><\/p>\n
I take a moment to withdraw to a quiet space.<\/p>\n
A walk in nature can help me come back<\/p>\n
- \n
- Into my body<\/li>\n
- Into the present moment<\/li>\n
- Into my sensations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
I let emotions flow without judgement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nTip #2<\/h3>\n
Sounds, lights and other people\u2019s energy can sometimes overload the nervous system.<\/p>\n
Create gentle, soothing pressure on the body:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Weighted blanket<\/li>\n
- Sandbag on the belly<\/li>\n
- Pressure on the hands and feet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This sensation can activate the response of the parasympathetic nervous system: rest and digest \u2014 the relaxation response<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nTip #3<\/h3>\n
When restlessness takes over my body<\/strong><\/p>\n
If my heart races and I feel jittery, like a drifting leaf:<\/p>\n
- \n
- I take 5 conscious breaths.<\/li>\n
- Inhale: 4 seconds<\/li>\n
- Exhale: 6 seconds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Feet grounded, the weight of the pelvis well settled, I welcome the inhale with ease and invite the exhale to gently lengthen.<\/p>\n
A longer exhale helps the body settle, let go, or simply let be whatever needs to emerge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
