““All feelings have a physical reaction.” ”

— BrookeLynne Dukes

Unconscious Thoughts and How to Take Action:
- Assume Intent: These assumptions get in our way and are usually negative. We typically assume the worst. Take Action: Give people good intentions!
- Magnifying: Make things seem bigger than they really are. Take Action: step back and don’t show up with panic.
- Labeling: We label kids and ourselves. Our brains naturally label things we don’t understand because it feels safe. Take Action: Think of things less in terms of deficits and labels and more from a strength-based perspective!
Pay attention to your physical self as well as your feelings/emotions.
Self-Regulation Tip: name what you’re feeling (emotion) and then literally do something physical (shout, silly shake, deep breaths, jumps) to get the feeling out!
- This looks messy but the physical expression of our feelings is what regulates us!
Become familiar with what is setting you off/triggering you.
- Make this your homework to work on.
Model for your children what it’s safe to feel our feelings and that they don’t last. It’s OK to sit with them as well; they will pass.
