Preparing for Family and Social Gatherings

Описание: Are you feeling anxious about upcoming holiday gatherings? Worried about triggering conversations or situations?

Here are some tips to help you approach these events in a way that supports your wellbeing:

1️⃣ Prepare beforehand: Take some time to meditate and centre yourself before the event. Get quiet and grounded. This can help you stay focused and calm when faced with potential triggers. 🧘‍♀️

2️⃣ Emotional readiness: Mentally prepare yourself for potential triggers. Think about how you want to respond and how you want to show up in these gatherings. Having a plan can alleviate some anxiety. ✨

3️⃣ Conversation starters: When faced with uncomfortable questions, have some conversation starters ready. This way, you can divert the conversation to lighter or more positive topics. Remember, you have the power to direct the conversation! 🗣️

4️⃣ Visualize a bubble: Imagine an invisible shield around you. When someone says something triggering, let it bounce off this bubble. Don't let their comments hijack your emotions. Stay in control of how you feel. 💫

5️⃣ Refill your cup: After the event, it's important to recharge. Whether it's through meditation, journaling, a walk in nature, or simply enjoying some cozy couch time with your favourite book or show, find what refuels you. 🌟
