It’s good to remind ourselves to be kind and forgive ourselves for those times when we know the intervention but can’t reach for it in that moment; the times when we revert to our animal responses.
I’m glad you didn’t bin the yoga that day… it might only seem like a small thing, but it’s actually huge to have a time out.
Thanks, Barrie. That's so true. I used to to knock exercise off my to do list whenever I had a time crunch. Always an optional extra, I didn't understand how essential it is. We are animals after all. You're a good role model for that.
This resonates for me. The cobra pit is such a powerful metaphor.
I was also interested that you mentioned getting out coloured pens/pencils. What you created looked very like neurographica. An autistic friend has trained in this and we've done quite a bit together. I love it - the use of colour, the freedom, the understanding it brings.
I hope things calm down for you with the remortgage out of the way. (I was a personal finance journalist in a previous life, so I know how stressful that stuff can be.)
Another resonate post. So useful.

You are so wise!!
