How are you feeling today? How are you really feeling today?

Building awareness of what is going on inside of you is important for your well-being and is critical to help you better cope with the stressors of day-to-day life and more so if. you are dealing with anxiety, depression, overwhelm, trauma and more.

These 3 basic steps can help you boost their your self-care and well-being.

At least once a day, ask yourself these 3 questions:

1. What am I thinking right now?

2. What emotions am I feeling?

3. What is happening in my body? What body sensations do I feel?

Building your awareness of your thoughts, emotions and physical sensations are a powerful way of paying attention to what is happening inside of you. By observing what you are experiencing, you can respond in a way that is not reactive but that honours what you need and how best to respond.

Most of us operate at such a fast pace that we are not aware of what we are feeling or how our body is responding. These thoughts, emotions and body sensations are indicators that point us to what we need. .

This is even more impactful if you are dealing with stress, overwhelm, chronic illness, PTSD, anxiety or depression.

When you slow down a little in those moments and check-in with yourself, you give yourself the opportunity to gain insight into your needs, and can honour those needs
