Rage is an emotion, and it deserves to be felt... But being stuck in anger doesn't help you, or anyone around you.

These are 3 tips to transform your fury by learning how to pause instead of pitching a fit. Expressing your emotions is natural and healthy, although ruminating and identifying yourself with emotions like rage doesn't actually help you process it - you might even be wiring your brain to hold that anger and cultivate more of it.

Once you can pause and get even a little bit of perspective on the situation, then you can look for opportunities to make sure your needs are met, and ways to take action, to find resolution and even make an impact that improves your life in the moment and with lasting benefit.

Are you ready to let go of your anger?

Regulation is not all that your nervous system wants from you!

A funny thing happened when I saw Mae Martin in San Diego... I got called out along with all the creators who want to help you regulate your nervous system.

And Mae is right!!!
Regulation is NOT the only goal.
In fact, we should feel dysregulated in this mad, mad, mad, mad world! The power is in having the tools to come back into balance, but not until you have received the signal that your 'fight or flight' stress response is sending you.

First, recognize what you're perceiving is a threat. Next, understand what is needed: moving yourself to safety or taking an action to reaffirm that you have power in the moment. Aaaaaand then, check in with your nervous system and use the tool from your toolkit that will bring you back into parasympathetic balance - You're building resilience and your confidence in meeting the challenges that life serves up.

Thanks Mae, for leading me to look on my message with fresh eyes. And for creating this awesome hat! Love your art and your presence, you rocked the house.
