Month 2 Material
This is where each weeks material will be uploaded and organized by week
Week 1- Nervous system awareness
Please take your time with the material! There's absolutely no rush. I just want you to have what you need to feel supported as you make decisions, grow, and learn yourself. This is not a race. This is relearning a lifetime worth of beliefs, patterns, and ways of dealing with the most delicate part of you.
Think about the way that it feels when you’re triggered.
What comes to mind, how do you usually respond to these triggers. This week we want to be aware of how we feel about triggers and how our minds respond to emotional triggers caused by our family.
Triggers have the ability to show us where we need more of our own attention and understanding. It’s not the absence of triggers that we’re striving for.
It’s that if triggers are present, we can pause to reflect in before responding from a place we don’t want to.
Reflection questions:
Journaling Questions/Reflection work:
-
Have you ever paid attention to your nervous system? If you could think of what your nervous system is trying to communicate with you when you’re emotionally triggered, what would that be?
-
How would you like your relationship to be with your emotional triggers when you are alerted of how your nervous system responds to life?
-
Notice how your triggers feel in your body. When you’re triggered. Pause. Feel into your body. Apply the "sitting with discomfort" audio recording.
-
What do you feel is the hardest part about listening to your body and sitting with your emotions?
Week 2 -Week 3
Your body wants a healthy nurturing relationship with you.
This week we are heavily focusing on being intentional to feel into the body and be kind and compassionate with the body when discomfort is present.
Discomfort is an alert to the body that there is a transition happening within. But due to your past relationship with transitions, change, discomfort, it triggers you to feel angry rather than observant.
This week, let’s focus on being observant. When you notice yourself angry or frustrated with the feeling… PAUSE. Breathe and implement some of the techniques for this week
Journaling Questions/Reflection work:
-
Implement 444 method consistently throughout the day (2-4x a day)
-
Write a letter to your nervous system of the connection you desire to have and what it would change if you felt connected to your nervous system
-
Implement PAUSE audio
Please remember to go at your own pace. There is no rush in completing anything. And any questions. I'm here. You've got this! <3
Week 3
What does safety mean to you?
When you think of feeling safe in your body what would that be for you?
Our outlook on safety impacts the way we feel when it comes to our body. From the understanding I’ve gained from emotional safety and feeling safe with my body, it’s not the absence of discomfort, challenges, changes, or triggers, it’s me recognizing that my body was created for me to listen to and we are a team.
When my body is experiencing something I cannot see, but I can feel, I have to trust my connection and the way God created me, and get curious and observant when I’m triggered.
There are things we experience that makes us feel unsafe within our bodies, abuse, neglect, making wrong decisions, etc. To feel safe in your body you must trust your body. This week we will focus on that relationship.
Journaling Questions/Reflection work:
-
What’s made it hard for you to trust yourself? Are you willing to let that go? What do you find challenging in releasing the attachment to that? Do you believe if you remain in this space you’re protecting yourself from it happening again? If you could write a letter to that past version of yourself, what would you tell her to be more aware of? What went into her making the decisions she did or what led her to that experience? Was this in her control or not? If it wasn’t, can you forgive her for being a victim? If you can’t, that’s okay.. There will be a time.
-
Implement "444 method" and "embodiment" audios 2-3x a week
-
What would a trusting relationship look like with your body? What are the things you feel you’ll need to work on to release or shift? Where can you extend grace and compassion for yourself with this process? What support would you need? What would that look like?
-
Implement “trust body tapping video” 2-3x a week
Week 4
Please take your time with the material! There's absolutely no rush. I just want you to have what you need to feel supported as you make decisions, grow, and learn yourself. This is not a race. This is relearning a lifetime worth of beliefs, patterns, and ways of dealing with the most delicate part of you.
The mind and body have felt distant from one another for a while. This week you will explore rebuilding this relationship and challenge yourself to feel safer with the connection. Due to the emotional experiences of the past, you having trusted your body. When your emotional needs aren’t met as a child, you learn to not like the feeling in your body that the need provoke. Your mind wants to protect you therefore the mind and body become disconnected and the mind and ego take over, although you feel a lot in life, you feel through the lens of protection, emotional survival, and pain. Until now. You’re growing, evolving, and learning to trust yourself which is beautiful. This week you will gain the respect and trust of yourself in ways you didn’t expect through self exploration
Journaling Questions/Reflection work:
-
Implement both tapping somatic videos
-
How would you like your mind to respond to the sensations of your body? How would you like your body to respond to the direction of your mind? What type of dialogue are they needing with one another?
-
Implement “body scan video” 2-3x this week
-
Write a letter of declaration to self stating that you will begin to trust yourself and what this trust journey will look like and what you’re willing to notice, pay attention to, commit to, and honor with yourself.
