So, I need to work on strengthening my connection to the body and "being present" within it.
Any tips? |
Can you stay present with those two younger ones?
Something that helped me,which may sound stupid and may not help you,I found if I tucked my thumbs into my hands and closed my fist around them it would feel like I was holding hands with the ones inside.And it helped me feel not only closer to them but ...grounded and safer to stay present and connected to the body.
Also,my therapist would tell me to move my feet around,jump up and down,flail my arms around,etc. to help stay present and connected.
I know there's more but I'm waking up right now and need more coffee to think clearly.
