Filling a child's cup doesn't require 1:1 time or hours of undivided attention. Simply being present with them, seeing them, hearing them, acknowledging them- that's connection.

When we can tune out the distractions for a bit and just be with our kids, we can connect. We can fill their cups and make them feel SEEN.
✨Acknowledge their acts of kindness.
✨Connect with them during the hard moments.
✨Let them know you see their process and progress, not just the finished product.

Challenge for the day- acknowledge your kiddo intentionally once today. Let's fill some cups today🧡

Managing our distress and our stressors- riding the wave, not easy but doable!

"Urge surfing" is a term I learned a long time ago from my addiction studies. It is SO yogic. I really love it. This is the time of year when it's really easy to slip back into dysfunctional and/or addictive tendencies. Urge surfing is a way to acknowledge that we are not always so balanced, we may have some urges that are not so great for our health, and it's okay to be human. We can ride the wave without guilt or shame, and find a way back to center.
Please give it a try! Here's a PDF with instructions.https://www.therapistaid.com/worksheets/urge-surfing-handout.pdf

The vagus nerve is involved in nearly every physiological action in the human body and harnessing its power can have an immediate and dramatic impact on your well-being.

Physicians as far back as the Roman Empire have been grappling with how to vagus nerve impacts bodily function. We've now learned that simple movement and breath exercises can be done at home to manually stimulate the vagus nerve in times of stress to trigger the body's natural relaxation response. And for patients with conditions ranging from epilepsy to rheumatoid arthritis to Crohn's disease, electronic vagus nerve stimulation is offering hope and showing long-term results.
