If we were all more honest with ourselves and slowed down a little, it’s likely we would notice that our minds and bodies are whispering something to us. They may be telling us we need to do things a little differently, adjust some behaviours accordingly, so that we can feel better in moments we’re in distress. And if we’d only stop and listen, we’d get the valuable information about what we need to be doing (or not doing) to soothe ourselves. But many of us don’t listen. We don’t stop to notice the stressors, the pressures or the feelings.
