Day 1 – Be Present

Goal for today: Become clear, protected and to feel safe.


Breathing and doing the exercises to keep you present are a great start.
Repeating the toolbox exercises and audios will also ground you.
Today you discover what you do to ‘get lost’ and how to bring yourself back.
The tools are to give you options you to consciously choose to change habits.
Maybe in the back of the book – so you can refer to, instead of wonder where you put them.
Keep writing down what has kept you stuck.
You may discover you need to constantly pause and write what has come up in the paper journal that you have by you just for this.

Action – Chest opening to breathe more

Please watch and listen to the above.

Today’s goal – to stay present and not ‘duck out’ .
You will learn some tools to keep you on track.
And why it has been a survival pattern that may have been with you all your conscious life.
(And why being shown/told what to do to undo patterns that are supposedly hardwired have not worked so far).

You have your hands – these may not only save your sanity, but someone’s life in time.
