Building A Container For Tender Times #holidaysurvivaltipsandtricks

Soul Care With Angie Fadel

This is the first episode in my reoccurring series #holidaysurvivaltipsandtricks this might be the longest-running thing I've ever done and it is deeply rooted in my own survival and the survival of those closest to me. How do we protect our most tender selves in a time that no matter what you believe in or where you come from can be fraught? You could tap out of the whole season, not see another problematic person and still have things come up for you. In this first episode, I want to talk about building your personal container from the jump. What can you do now before things get rolling to help you feel good from start to finish? Maybe your family is fine but your co-workers suck; maybe you moved during the lockdown and have yet to find your safe people; maybe painful childhood memories come up; maybe you have grief and loss that make the holidays feel like navigating a gauntlet. Whatever it is starting now adding simple, attainable, gentle, soft, awareness builders for your body "tells" can be a lifesaver. As well as coming up with a personal #mantra for you to say as you walk forward into whatever is ahead. Maybe it's something like I AM WORTH LOVING, IT IS HEALTHY TO BE DIFFERENT, I DON'T HAVE TO LIKE OR BE LIKED BY EVERYONE, MY OWN SAFETY IS AN APPROPRIATE NEED, and I DON'T HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO BE LOVED...... Whatever it is start saying it over and over till you can claim it for yourself and this season. Because you are worth calm, rest, and staying safe.
