REGULATION STRATEGIES
It sounds like you’re navigating some heavy feelings right now—and that’s okay. Remember, ALL YOUR EMOTIONS ARE VALID. What matters most is how you choose to work with them.
That’s where emotional regulation techniques come in. When you’re feeling insecure, these strategies can help you move from uncertainty, stress, or low energy to a space of clarity and care. While these emotions may feel overwhelming, they also provide an opportunity to reflect, process, and practice self-compassion.
Take it one step at a time by pausing, breathing, and allowing yourself to reflect in a way that feels manageable. This approach helps you reconnect with your needs, restore your energy (even if just a little at a time), and move through life with greater clarity.
