The Self-Care Shortlist: 4 Simple Ways to Feel More Like Yourself

Fresh off her family therapy retreat, Amy reflects on the importance of quick, effective ways to create moments of refuge throughout the day. She goes over 4 simple ways to help reset and reconnect. First thing is a concept from therapist Katie Gustafson: hosting emotions like guests at a dinner party! Second thing is dopamine dressing: how intentional outfit choices can boost mood and confidence. Third thing is unusual signs of emotional stress: like yawning, itching, and fidgeting, and how they may indicate the body is holding onto emotions. For the fourth thing she revisits the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding method: a sensory-based technique for regaining focus and presence in overwhelming moments.
