Tip 2: Create a Calm Havening Space
To get the most out of Self Havening, set up a serene space in your home where you can practice undisturbed. Designate a comfortable corner with soft lighting, calming music, and any objects that bring you peace. This space will become your haven for stress relief.
If this isn't possible, and lets face it, home can be hectic, use the Self Havening touch at ANY stage to help you regulate. The more you do it the more your brain and body will recognise this and calm you quickly.
Tip 3: Practice Regularly
Consistency is key when it comes to Self Havening. Schedule dedicated sessions for yourself and encourage other family members to do the same. It's a skill that improves with practice, and as you become more adept, you'll notice a positive shift in your overall well-being.
Tip 4: Teach Your Family Members
One of the beauties of Self Havening is that it can be shared with your entire family. Teach your children and partner the basics, and make it a family ritual. This not only strengthens your family bond but also equips everyone with a valuable tool for managing stress and emotions.
Tip 5: Track Progress and Celebrate Success
Keep a journal to record your Self Havening experiences. Note any changes in your emotional state, stress levels, and overall family dynamics. Celebrate even small victories, as they signify your journey toward a calmer and more harmonious family life.
Maybe video your own sessions and the sessions you do with the kids. Do a before and after score.
