Loving the 3 thoughts of the week. Short, sharp and simple. One practice for emotional regulation that took me far last year was the 4 part journaling I learnt as part of my yoga teacher training the other year.
1. How am I feeling in my body today & how can I support how I feel?
2. How am I feeling emotionally today & how can I support how I feel?
3. What are the main thoughts I am experiencing?
4. What does my loving voice need to hear?
Whilst everyone was at work last year earning money to pay their bills, I sat in a holiday home with no central heating that I bought outright, learning to regulate my emotions. The pay offs have been big. No severe/agonising pain since spring 2022. Could function through attack by September. Recently celebrating 4 months free from a high level of pain (comparable to child birth, kidney stones & gunshot wound).
Learning to regulate my emotions has been a game changer for sure. And well worth every ounce of investment of my time, energy and focus🙏🔹
Profound and concise. Its brilliant to show up without breaking your precious self. Thank you. (And for the hat tip.) Brain fog sounds waaaay too benign.

Love this! It’s very similar to my process, too. And yes, for me a huge game-changer, too. Thank you for sharing!
Amazing ! So glad to hear this. 🤩

Thank you so much, Michelle! And yes, we need another word for brain fog.
How about “Brain-quakes: increasing the chance of thought derailment daily” instead of Brain fog?
Ooh I love this!
1. I am here
2. Time is an interesting concept, especially in the context of finitude (I’m currently reading the book 4000 weeks)
3. So many small moments of my life are nourishing right now.
Thank you Madelleine. I really appreciate your voice & writing and this practice.
Thank you so much, Linn and thank you for sharing!
