PRACTICE 
TOOLS

With practice, we can increase our nervous system resources even in the most stressful conditions.
 

All it takes is conscious awareness and a commitment to wellbeing.

I. MINDFUL PRACTICE

Move from overwhelm to compassion, from anger to peace, from despair to hope.
Mindful crying can shift stress, anxiety, anger, overwhelm, grief, and even numbness.

II. INQUIRY

Sometimes it makes sense to step away and cry proactively. When we feel anxious or detached, our nervous system may be looking for a release that crying can provide. Listening to song or watching a video that makes us tearful can provide a safe pathway to emotional tears.
