Hard Truth: You are only as stuck as you choose to be.

Looping the thoughts and memories that do not serve you keep you sick. It can be hard to come to terms with the fact that the same defense mechanisms that kept you safe are now keeping you sick. It's so much easier to stay in our comfort zones, what we know, what e can predict even if it is harming us and causing anxiety, panic, and obsessive ruminating thoughts. So how do we break free from this trauma response? How do we stop the looping? That's a tricky question to answer because this is most definitely not a one size fits all way of healing but hopefully, these help you guys step into a more peaceful headspace. Here are a few tips on how to do just that!

1. Distract yourself, clean, move your body, call a friend, meditate
2. Plan some type of action
3. Take action one looping thought at a time
4. Question your thoughts and get curious about them
5. Understand your triggers
6. Try therapy
7. create changes in your lifestyle. Be proactive, find a solid support system, set your own expectations.

Like everything we try to overcome it takes time to get yourself into a new way of being, change work is hard stuff, but, it's about the journey along the way and what you learn about yourself that matters most.
