Everything feels more intense when we’re stressed. Even the smallest irritations feel hard to deal with. Rather than let the stress overwhelm us, focusing our attention on the body and feeling the unpleasant sensations of frustration, anger or fear does wonders. Checking in this way gives our subconscious minds the message that someone cares, which is the best thing we can possibly do for ourselves, because the most important person to care about how we’re feeling and the only one who can change it is…
Us.
