@ingrid Empathizing. Think I've been flushing excess cortisol out of my body for the last four months and I still have a ways to go.

@ingrid it's super silly and stereotypical but going to zen meditation / yoga and practicing specific breathing techniques like square breathing (I prefer 4 seconds or whatever feels good vs the 5 I often see) or visualizations like "breathe in my head is tree branches reaching to the sky, breathe out my legs are roots extending into the earth," just really gets my lizard brain quieted enough to feel centered and grounded and at peace for a little bit. Hope something works for you as well 🖤
