Today, I feel like a walking time bomb—crawling out of my skin.
When I feel like this, I take myself away to a quiet place and return to myself.
I stop.
Feel my feet on the ground.
Notice my breath.
Relax my shoulders.
Then I slowly check through my body—my jaw, hands, knees, face, legs, and feet.
I lift my heels just an inch or two off the floor and let them drop,
.. creating a ripple through the centre of my body.
Then I wriggle and shake everything out.
This simple movement helps interrupt the emotional loop running through my body and settle my nervous system.
Then I call my attention back to me.
Back from the situation.
Back from the person.
Back from the spiralling thoughts.
Sometimes we become so caught up in the energy of something that we can no longer hear ourselves within it.
