Mini Mindfulness Moments You Can Do Anywhere

When we hear the word “mindfulness,” we often picture meditation cushions, closed eyes, and long silences. But mindfulness doesn’t have to look like headphones, an eye-mask and a timer. And it doesn’t have to be a formal practice. Being mindful is simply noticing what’s happening in the moment – without judgment. You can be mindful anywhere, anytime. No app required. No perfect vibe…

nervous system regulation.

this post is especially dedicated for my fellow neurodivergents, specifically those who have add/adhd.

it’s normal for all of us to feel stressed sometimes. stress, as well as anxiety, are both feelings we all experience from time to time. however, dealing with a lot of stress is proven to have a negative impact on your body, more specifically your (autonomic) nervous system. by understanding how to regulate your nervous system, you will have an easier time managing stressful moments, and overall live a lot more balanced and peaceful life. ⋮ © credits

the nervous system.

your nervous system is the control center of your body. it is the part of your body that’s responsible for regulating your breathing, your heartbeat, your blood pressure, your digestion, and also the way you feel. the part of your nervous system that deals with the emotional wellbeing of yours is called "autonomic nervous system".

when feeling stressed, your body naturally reacts in a way to prepare you for the situation. it could respond through an increased heart rate, sweaty palms or the tension of muscles. nevertheless, our bodies cannot constantly withstand stress. continuously experiencing high levels of cortisol and adrenaline can lead to (sometimes serious) health issues.

a dysregulated nervous system.

a nervous system becomes dysregulated when the body cannot properly handle certain situations the way it used to. the body's way of responding to certain situations falls out of sync. it indicates a state of imbalance as you experience your body not being able to keep up with you.

signs.

these are some of the signs indicating you might have a dysregulated nervous system:

anxiety

easily irritated

memory problems

difficulty concentrating

headaches

quickly overwhelmed

mood swings

panic attacks

digestive issues

trouble sleeping

constant fatigue

chronic pain

persistent muscle tension

weakened immune system

stressors.

here is a list of stressors that are known to disrupt your nervous system balance:

chronic stress

burnout

traumatic events

poor sleep habits

unhealthy diet

no time for relaxation

support.

here are things you can do to help regulating your nervous system again:

meditating and resting

listening to music

dancing and moving

stretching and walking

eft tapping

massaging yourself

affirming

practicing mindfulness

reconnecting with nature

hugging someone or yourself

somatic shaking

rubbing ice cubes on face

taking a cold shower

sleeping and waking up early

grounding yourself

humming, singing and laughing

talking to someone

reading or listening

using a weighted blanket

drinking herbal tea

engaging in calming activities

deep breathing exercises

prioritising your sleep

with love, ella.

How can you prepare for the Saturn return if you have Saturn in Aries?

Before the Saturn return, when you are having a good time or at least you’re not struggling with a debilitating crisis, you can start preparing for this transit.

The best way to do so is by giddying up your nervous system.

These are some simple practices that you can find helpful:

Having an analog hobby

Reading

Gardening

Baking

Spending time in nature

Doing sports or physical activity

Breathing exercises

Grounding

I know that this list sounds kind of naive or dumb in a world that is in shambles.

Still, I consider that going back to basics can provide a foundation from which to make structural changes in your existence.

Try to find practices that make you feel good.

Not in a self destructive way, but in a calm and relaxed way.

god fucking dammit /neu/pos

i need to stim way more and way harder.

i just got off therapy appt and realized during it when talking about how dysregulated i am so much of the time, all of the brain hyperactivity and thought hyperconnectedness, that oh man a big part of this is my brain is overstimulating itself, and then, when doing some of the somatic physical/breathing exercises, *oh my god this is just stimming and i need to stim*.

i thought i was fully unmasked, i have already been stimming lots, ive ALREADY been doing what (seemed) NATURAL and good and whole, but theres still stuff being held back, still so much, still too much, and i need to fuckin YELL and SIGH and SHAKE and THUD and SWAY and MOVE and AUUUAGAHAGAHAGUHGFHHBGGHHHhhhhh....

so yeah uh. pointing at you the viewer

we have so much consciously and unconsciously holding us back from stimming and acting weird or concerning or irritating or scary to others. you are holding back stimming more than you know. please pleaspleaseplease try and build more opportunities and methods in so you can stim more than you think you need to

some evenings (most evenings) I'm just like "sigh... I need to cry about Bojere" 😔 and then I go search for some bojere to cry about.

thinking about how in s6 ep10 rick fell back so hard all bc his grandson that he cares for dearly called him boring.

how his thought process was "oh he thinks i'm boring so i'm not interesting. meaning i really have nothing of use to contribute anymore if not even my grandson can be entertained by me. did i ever contribute anything useful? i don't have control over how im perceived like i thought i did bc my grandson called me boring. my daughters are pissed at me, my granddaughter is likely tired of me, i've inconvenienced jerry bc i see myself in him (i think jerry is who rick was before he lost his og wife and daughter). for how long did morty feel like that??". how he was genuinely hurt that morty blatantly dismissed his feedback like that AND insulted him, and the insult actually had truth to it. which he knew. which probably hurt more.

how he then made an "idealized" version of himself to take care of his family that he believed would be able to provide them things he feels that he would never be able to give them and then isolated himself after that and knew nobody would notice and decided to pitch a tent in his own head.

how the fact that it resulted in rick spiraling and hyperfocusing (again) on avenging his dead wife and prioritizing that over everything else so much because at least he has control in how he feels in that situation. bc self isolation along with sitting in his own grief, shame, regret, and anger are what's familiar to him the most. how he is fully aware he could (and probably would) die in chasing prime and didn't care bc he probably thought his family wouldn't actually care if he died either, right? all because his grandson called him boring.

just thinking about that.

I intentionally live a slow life, because I do not want my mind or body to believe we have to rush through anything in life. I give myself time to get up, eat, get ready, do my tasks, enjoy my hobbies, walking in nature, clean, get to bed, whatever it is I will find a way to do it without rushing or getting stressed. Everything is planned intentionally, and I never pack my day in the name of productivity. I am not a machine and never wish to be one even if the world tries it's best to rush me. I get things done at my pace, and that pace sets the tone for the peaceful life I want to live.
