Self Compassion in Overwhelm - How to Reconnect with your Needs. Oh no! Look out here she comes again, it's that crazy woman inside of you, that has been holding on waaaaaay tooooooo loooooooong.And finally she combusted in a fit of anger, throwing things (or is that just me), yelling, crying, trying to speak but just not finding the right words, because she is feeling so hurt right now.It was all caught up in her throat, the words she had been wanting to speak.And instead of being calm and composed as she might normally appear, the thing that she really needed to do was just that.Is she really crazy?No.She just forgot about her own needs for a little bit too long.  Maybe she just forgot to ask for help.  Maybe she forgot to do some of the things that brought her joy this week.The check in, is so important in these times.  What does the check in look like?It's scheduling in some quiet time to see what's happening for you.  It's checking in with the body to see what is rumbling around in there (and I'm not talking hunger pains).It's checking to see if there are some needs of yours that are not being met, and to see if you are living in alignment with how you love to live your life.For me I noticed that I had forgotten to bring in my self regulation tools, like breath.  I had dropped off with my breathwork practice for myself and it was affecting my capacity to care for myself.I had also forgotten to speak up and ask for support, I had forgotten to reach out to my family and let them know where I was at, so we could create some changes that supported us all.I had forgotten to use my voice and to speak out my needs. And then I lost it.So I'm not crazy, in that moment that was what was needed for me.  I was reminded to bring in my self compassion and I leaned in to the repair.  Now I am back on track, I have listened to myself and brought in what I need for now.I hope you can sit down and listen to yourself so you can hear what it is you 'need for you' too.Until next time,Nat and Mel xx ooHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568
