Past Regulated

Life can be surprising. I’ve spent days worried or trying not to worry. I’m all about doing big and little things to get myself into a regulated state whenever I fall out. Regulating is a life skill I wish I’d learned in elementary school.

Better late then never. I’m so glad I have tools now. Im glad to feel calm and confident on a more regular basis. Even better are the many more days I now spend enjoying my life. I think of it as going past regulated and all the way to fun.

I’m not settled in, I can’t find things I need. I’m over due for a pedicure. I have yet to figure out a routine or the WiFi. I could go on, but I still enjoyed a full fun day exploring the area. I’m so glad I went with the flow and didn’t miss any of it.

Even when things are not ideal, I’m still open to good moments. I still end up having some fun. As a friend of mine once suggested, I try to make the good moments bigger and the not so good ones, smaller. I do this when I think or talk about them.

Life can take some twists and turns. I’m glad to not be afraid of how I’ll do when things are not ideal. I’m glad I’m not trying to control or fix circumstances anymore. Its easier to just take care of myself.

I like when being in a regulated state leads me to be in the flow, and then being in the flow leads me to fun. That what happened yesterday!”
