The UnNesting Mom

“Just take a breath.” 🙄 When the house is rocking and rolling, grounding CAN help. But how?

Send them to bed early and do what you want! 🤣

I’ve learned to regulate myself even in the midst of organized chaos. I literally use breathing techniques anywhere. The kids just started copying it and everyone knows to give each other a minute. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤣❤️

Ways to ground:
-Breathe
-More sleep
-Listen to your fav music
-Don’t catastrophize (Is this happening the “end of the world?”
-Identify what you can control
-Speak kindly to yourself

Remind yourself of the best parts of the day. 💛

Can anyone relate? Motherhood made me recognize and acknowledge my anxious behavior head on 😩💕. I was so used to being structured. The spontaneity and kids actions within motherhood would secretly drive me batty 🤪 and feeling tense😣.

🧘🏾‍♀️I did a lot work around mindfulness, triggers and responses, realistic expectations and showing up lighter. I’m thankful I had a community that saw me and we helped each other. I continued my work to include CBT and other therapies into my program.

💕Think of waking up looking forward to the day

💕Being able to handle the curveballs better

💕Getting to do more of the things that bring joy

Sending light and love your way on this amazing Friday!

A rush of feelings, heart races, body becomes tense…this is how anxiety can show up.

Life’s peaks and valleys can take our body and mind on a climb! Anxiety can create distance if one withdraws, reactions that are riddled in stress, anger, or worry. It is debilitating if within anxiety disorders.

I’ll discuss my on path to wellness from anxiety which parenthood help to heighten, highlight, and heal me. As well as other areas of mental health especially intertwined in motherhood.
