In this episode, I muse on different ways that we can regulate ourselves during periods of change. My main example here is travel or the holidays, but this also applies to stressful events or other changes in your routine. I give you some mindset and perspective tips, as well as more tangible actions steps you can take to regulate yourself. I also dive in to the window of tolerance and how we can use that framework to regulate ourselves in our window and what to do when we reach our fight/freeze/flight responses. I hope you enjoy! . . .
