I Feel Uncomfortable in my Body, AND

You might feel uncomfortable in your body.

What if instead of using feeling uncomfortable as an indication that you need to do a thing to try to change a thing, you used feeling uncomfortable as a pointer to get curious about why you feel what you do? What you need in the moment? Perhaps you need to set a boundary? Or close your browser? Or turn off your phone? Or to breathe or scream or cry?

Body discomfort is challenging, and self-care can persist, nonetheless.

This is an opportunity for neuroplasticity. This is an opportunity to change patterned responses.

Reframe to change your brain!

What else would you add to this list of responses to the statement:

“I feel uncomfortable in my body, AND _____________”
