Today I’m talking about my favorite brain reboots to either calm myself down or amp myself up.
Why? So you feel better (shrug). Feeling bad = hurting yourself.
What are you doing for yourself this weekend? I’d love to hear. I’ll probably be at the beach – rebooting my brain. Self care = healthcare
Sleep deprivation from narcolepsy affects my ability to regulate my emotions. Insomnia often makes sleep hard to come by. It helps me a lot if I can relax myself… when I need a nap, at bedtime - when I have looping thoughts, over thinking, or frustrated.
Countdown from 90. One number as I breathe in, the next out. I try to visualize the numbers as if they’re on a screen. It works for me.
Four square breathing. I love this ever since Brene Brown said snipers do it. Breathe in 4 seconds, hold your breath 4 seconds, out 4, hold 4. I follow a square in my mind as I do it.
Guided meditations. Find short ones on Youtube. Get out of your head, let someone else drive for a minute.
If I’m trying to ramp my energy up because my brain is taking me down then music is my go to. Close my eyes, put on my headphones, play my 3 favorite songs and dance.
Naps. If I have the time to take a nap, I will have more energy when I get up. If it doesn’t work like that for you – try going for a walk, movement indicates change!
