What are your self-limiting beliefs? Self-limiti

What are your self-limiting beliefs?

Self-limiting beliefs are subconscious beliefs that hold us back from doing things and taking risks. They may be likened to a handbrake that suddenly pops up on a long journey. Some people are able to quickly push the hand break down and carry on whilst others struggle to, preventing them from journeying and exploring further.

Maybe you started a new exercise routine, but gave up quickly because you thought, “What’s the point? I’ll never get fit.” Possibly you heard about a new job opportunity, but never applied because you thought, “I shouldn’t bother. I won’t get it because I’m not experienced enough.” These are examples of self-limiting beliefs. As you can see, they prevent people from reaching their true potential.

I want you to ask yourself, “What are my self-limiting beliefs?”. If it is hard for you to think of one, think about a time where you wanted to go for something but held yourself back, a time when self-doubt crept in, or a time when you’ve thought that you couldn’t or shouldn’t do something.

The beauty of being aware of your self-limiting beliefs is that it’s the first step in healing. When they pop up in your head, at times of doubt, you have the choice to ignore them and carry on going. You have the power to push the hand break down and carry on with your journey.

One of the most revolutionary books about trauma a

One of the most revolutionary books about trauma and healing ✨ - The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van der Kolk.

This book speaks about Trauma and the long-lasting impact it has on our brains and body. Van der Kolk explains that traumatic memories are not processed fully, meaning that traumatised people cannot recall a coherent beginning, middle and end. Rather sounds, images and smells are remembered. This is why we get triggered by certain sounds, images and smells in the environment🍃.

When we are triggered, the emotional brain takes over, causing us to be overwhelmed by emotion and leaving no room for rational thought 🧠 The left part of our brain (rational part) actually switches off. The rational brain is extremely important as it tells us that the trauma is something of the past and not happening right now, and can help us gain insight. If this is inactive then we are left with emotional overwhelm.

Are you a person who is triggered by their environment and experiences intense/overwhelming emotions? That’s okay because – in those moments- all you need to do is focus on the body 🧘‍♀️. By this, I mean focusing on how emotions feel in our bodies and finding ways to calm ourselves down. When we calm ourselves down, our body can restore its balance and the physical sensations of anxiety/sadness/fear may lessen or dissipate. Once we are here, the rational part of the brain will naturally reactivate and we can let ourselves know that we are safe.

Here are some body-based techniques to calm ourselves down:

Deep breathing (in for 7 and out for 7), closing eyes and slowly rubbing the fingertips (feel the grooves of your fingerprints), meditation, yoga, simply allowing yourself to cry, feeling the embrace of a loved one whilst closing your eyes, and TRE. It’s important that we find one that works for us – we may need different ones for different emotions. Once we are calm, we can use rationality and process what has happened 🙏🏼.

Thank you Bessel Van der Kolk for your amazing insights – you’ve definitely paved a new way for healing trauma.

When you feel stressed out or emotionally triggere

When you feel stressed out or emotionally triggered are you able to calm yourself down easily?

For many of us, it might take a few hours/days/weeks for our emotions to subside. What if I told you an easy way to achieve that peaceful state? ☺️

It all comes down to the vagus nerve 🙏🏼 The vagus nerve is connected to our parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for calming our bodies down. It does this by stimulating the “rest and digest” response in our body. “Rest and digest” brings us from a state of hyperarousal (emotional overload) back down to a “normal” or healthy state. When I say a healthy state, I mean a state with low levels of anxiety, stress, anger or irritation.

There are certain things that we can do to activate the vagus nerve ✨ These include doing body based techniques such as breathing deeply🧘‍♀️ Deep breathing involves inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Remember to:
-Breathe more slowly (6 seconds in and 10 seconds out)
-Breathe more deeply, from the belly. Place your hand on your heart and picture your heart expanding as your breath in and contracting as you exhale. -Exhale longer than you inhale. The exhale is what triggers the relaxation response. Here is a simple yet effective way to stimulate the vagus nerve.

Next time you feel stress, tension or anxiety start to build or you feel overwhelmed by emotion, I encourage you to try this simple body-based exercise. Sending you lots of love and support xx

“Sometimes the most productive thing you can do

“Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax” - Mark Black ☺️

A simple quote that speaks so much truth. Many of us become embedded in our hectic lifestyles with deadlines to meet, that we actually forget to relax. Relaxing for merely 5 minutes can give us the energy needed to tackle the workload or problem we are facing.
Stress can affect our physical, mental and emotional health, thereby influencing how we behave!

Physical symptoms such as headaches, deep muscular tension, fatigue and poor sleep may be caused by high stress levels. Stress also effects our mental state as it increases levels of cortisol. High levels of cortisol may lead to worrying, poor concentration, and decision making difficulties. Emotional symptoms can present as irritability, anxiety/feelings of overwhelm and depression.

Since we are not always able to avoid stress, learning how to manage it is vital. Relaxation is paramount to effective stress management. When we relax, the body is able to function optimally, blood flows increases, and we feel more energised. This leads us to feel calmer and clearer headed, aiding in concentration, positivity, memory and decision making. Relaxation reduces cortisol levels, slows our heart rate and relieves tension.

TRE is an effective relaxation technique. As our bodies begin to shake, deep muscular tension is released and our body return to a balanced state. This has calming effects and reduces the stress hormones in our bodies.
If you feel inspired to implement stress management into your life then join me for TRE!

Who can benefit from TRE? ✨ The quick answer is

Who can benefit from TRE? ✨ The quick answer is everyone 🙏🏼

Since this shaking mechanism in the muscles is part of our natural behaviour as humans, everyone can benefit from TRE®. The shaking of muscles increases the resiliency of the body as it causes deep relaxation that naturally reduces stress levels.

It can release emotions ranging from mild upset to severe anxiety whether it is caused by work stress, excessive worry, conflict in relationships, physical stresses or trauma from accidents.

Are you a:

👩‍👧parent/spouse who would like more patience with your family,
🚙a victim of violence or accident,
❌a soldier suffering from PTSD,
💪🏽an athlete,
🗓️an employee who is overwhelmed by meeting the demands and pressure of work life
🧘‍♀️or simply a person who wants to become more resilient and just feel better about life,

You can all benefit from TRE®!

We all need TRE®, from the young to the old, as we all get caught up in our daily lives, which often do not allow for much time down-time to de-stress ✨
