What’s an Emotional Toolkit?! Well, you know those times that life comes out of nowhere and F's you up? Ruins your day? BLINDSIDES YOU?! Are you prepared for those days? Or do they completely take you down? Do they cause you to spiral.... Binge eat and completely blow up your routine? Self sabotage? Take it out on others.. If any of that resonated, it means you probably aren’t PREPARING yourself to cope with stress appropriately. THE HARD TRUTH: Life will always surprise you and fuck you up. That’s just life 🤷♀️ But you know what.... You don’t have to lay down and play the victim every single time. That is a CHOICE. If you’re unprepared, you're planning to fail. Drop the pity party, and EMPOWER yourself with items from this list to make your own list. Write it in your phone, on a sticky note, on the fridge wherever works for you. Here are some ideas:
The next time life happens, put your list into action immediately to avoid catastrophizing your whole life and situation. Which of these works best for you when you’re stressed?! For me it’s: 🔵Sleep 🔵Physical Touch 🔵Therapist 🔵Talking to a friend or loved one 🔵Outdoor time! Share this email with a friend who needs it.
