CHECK OUT MIKKI's EMOTIONAL REGULATION BUNDLE
- Don’t believe in giving the world your best until you have the best for yourself.
- I was clinically burnt out - that looked like no longer could I push through - when you have burnt out, it’s not an option. I got to a point where I wasn’t taking care of herself or my child, that’s when I discovered emotional regulation, which literally saved my life!
- Many people don’t know what it is, but they can identify with it.
- Emotional regulation is not luxury, it is a necessity.
- 90% of emotional regulation is learning what you do when something happens.
- Being in control means you’re regulating, that is not right. When we’re constantly controlling our emotions, we’re suppressing. You will either implode or explode.
- Most people aren’t calling out because they’re sick, they’re calling out because they’re overwhelmed. This goes directly to the money you can make because your workforce is out.
- You cannot be future-proof if you cannot regulate your nervous system. Your brain isn’t working, and your making decisions from lack and from scarcity. The idea is to get back to a neutral state, because you and also not listen to guidance when you’re in fight or flight.
- How do we future proof? You start with your internal environment, meaning you have to be able to pinpoint what you are feeling in the first place.
- There is no such thing as a good or bad emotion, it’s just trying to send a message. You have to take account to what the emotion is trying to tell you.
- You have to GO IN before you GO OUT!
- Suppression is like a bucket… and it can only be suppressed for a time. If you aren’t moving the energy, it has to go somewhere. It will create disease of your body or you will have an outburst.
- Your triggers are a map to where you still need to heal. You will be triggered mostly by people you have a connection to!
- When triggered, it is your responsibility to clean up the trigger, it isn’t the persons.
- When you start to become aware of what your triggers are, now you can interrupt your nervous system.
- A Trigger is an ever evolving capacity of healing - the trigger may never dissipate fully, but you can get it to a point where it is very, very manageable.
3 TIPS TO MAKE EMOTIONAL REGULATION PRACTICAL
1. Start to embrace the pause, take a breath, then you choose your response. Take your breath in through the nose, then out through the nose. Do not feel like you have to make an action after you pause.
2. Name it to tame it - When your emotions are strong and pestering, it wants you to say I realize I’m angry.
3. Journaling - One of the best tools you can use because you don’t have to edit yourself.
- EMBODIMENT is how you self sooth and show up.
- Before you get to embodiment, you have to choose your identity. Strip away who you think you’re supposed to be and decide who you want to be. Once that’s intact, then you decide to be her day in and day out.
- Make decisions like that person, your habits, my thoughts, at some point it’s gonna match up.
- You cannot draw anything into your life when your nervous system is fried.
- Choose to be the person living an abundant life across the board because your nervous system is primed and ready tor receive that.
- High achievers isolate for healing. The vulnerability is important, when you get in community you learn you aren’t the only one.
- It is important because there is an energy in a container, in a community you start to develop a co-regulation with those people in the group with you.
