I walk, hike, snowshoe every day with my dogs.
This makes me happy.
This helps me regulate my nervous system
When my brain gives me intrusive thoughts about anything, sex, porn, that hot guitarist I saw, I notice that take a long slow deep breath in holding it for a few seconds. Then I notice the things around me.
Today I noticed the crunching sounds from the snow. I thought where do I feel this in my body?
I laughed when I thought definitely my ears 🤣🤣
And I scanned my body to see if there was anything else.
I focused on the trees and looked for maple trees because they’re going to be making syrup soon.
These are the types of things I do to show myself and my body this is what I like, this is what I want to do.
When I get triggered it’s take that same deep breath and focusing on where I feel thing in my body.
I know to do something so that I don’t even get to the browser and struggle to not type in that url.
This is more than just stopping the behavior it’s becoming a new man living a new life that he fucking loves!
And this is what I teach in private mentorship.
DMs are open
How are you gonna take care of yourself today? What will you do that you enjoy?
Do you have a protocol for when you get triggered?
Go really gentle on yourself, this work is fucking hard. Recovering from trauma is real work.
But it’s totally worth it.
