Today we are talking about using routines and rituals to help us regulate our anxiety. Our brains strive for order. When we can consciously create routine, things we do in a habitual way, we make our brain feels better. The meaning and intentions behind the routine can make it a ritual. #routines #habits #anxiety #mentalhealth

Today we are talking about who is in your inner circle of humans. Who do you feel safe and comfortable with. What those bonds are made of. We get to determine the level of closeness and vulnerablility we share with people. #innercircle #vulnerability #boundaries #community

Today we are talking about the assumption of suffering as it relates to compassion and empathy. We are all going through our things; good, bad, or otherwise. If we can assume people are struggling, it is an opportunity to be kind to ourselves and others. #selfcompassion #suffering #expectations #grace #kindness

Today we are talking about shift perspective from a zero sum absolutes mindset. It is not all or nothing, win or lose, love or hate, but something in between.

Today we are talking about the idea "righteous" indignation. The idea of getting angry or frustrated on behalf of someone else.

We can consider the idea that we disrupt our own peace by taking away someone else's ability to manage their own choices. #bugged #unfair #boundaries #detachment
