Dysregulation: How does it feel?
It can take many forms since each brain is unique and processes information and the world around it differently.
It is essential to be aware of and recognize the subtle signs in our bodies.
We don’t always notice the signs in our bodies because we are used to functioning in “pilot mode.”
Here are some examples of signs to pay attention to:
- Shallow breathing.
- Tense shoulders, neck.
- Tight chest-anxiety.
- Feeling disorganized (out of sorts).
- Dry mouth,
To name a few.
The Solution:
- Awareness: Pay attention to signs and patterns.
* Through Journaling
* Inner check-ins throughout the day. - Consciously choosing neuro-strategies that will help interrupt the wiring loop.
* We reset and recalibrate the nervous system whenever we interrupt a negative inner dialogue, a negative thought or emotion, or when feeling dysregulated. - Use Somatic Tools: Becoming present by bringing attention to bodily sensations.
* Embodying these practices over time will help develop inner resilience.
To a healthy, regulated nervous system,
