JULIA’S EXPERIMENT OF THE WEEK

This is a really helpful tool for the next time you notice yourself stuck in a headspace of blaming, comparing, or feeling resentful, especially when it feels like a disproportionate emotional response to what’s actually happening. Instead of judging yourself or stuffing the feeling down, pause and say ‘Hmm, interesting. I’m feeling X.’ Give yourself permission to explore what you’re feeling, examine the story you’re telling yourself, and identify what you might need in order to validate and shift the way you feel. 

KAREM’S EXPERIMENT OF THE WEEK

1) Practice stillness. Seek out moments without music, audiobooks, scrolling on your phone, making to-do lists, etc. Find creative ways to sit in quiet for 30 seconds to 10 minutes and allow your thoughts to come and flow. 

2) Establish a ‘Gratefulness Roll Call’. This is one you can practice with the whole family. Make a daily practice of focusing on the big and small things that you’re grateful for right now, especially the little things and not waiting to celebrate just the Oscar moments.
