No. 19 Normal is Just a Setting on the Washing Machine

This week, in order to attain, maintain or regain my sense of wellness, in times of stress or distress...



I will give myself compassion by normalising whatever is happening for me right now. I will remind myself that whatever I am experiencing is normal for someone who is sensitive.

I will practice saying things to myself like "It's normal to feel this way when..." or "It's understandable that I'm having this reaction because..." or "This is a normal response to..."

By normalising my experience, I will be able to give myself the same compassion and understanding that I would give to someone else who was going through the same thing.

Once I am comfortable normalising my experiences, I will add this strategy to my Personal Coping Kete for times of stress and distress.
