Your Inner Resource

I didn’t think twice about growing up in a man’s world and being perceived more or less as something pleasant to look at. I was the cute teenage girl pumping gas and giving change at the cash register. Looking back, being pretty and slim were societal values and were modeled for us everywhere, including television, magazines, movies and advertisements.

How do we keep the old man (or old woman) out? Yes, I agree, we can’t completely control the aging process. However, we can control many other things including the people, places and things in our life, what we eat and drink, the people we surround ourselves with, how much we exercise our brain and our body, whether we wear sunscreen, and so much more.

Yoga helps you connect with your body and mind - your true self - your very best self!

Mindfulness or present-moment awareness is an important component of DBT, and is threaded throughout each module and is the start of each session. It’s difficult to be mindful if we are distracted or multitasking. Children are reactive to the emotional and behavioral responses of the adults in their lives.

Acceptance means seeing things as they truly are in the present moment.

If you are a trauma survivor, you may experience sensations based on the past that are not relevant in the present. In situations like this, how do you remind yourself that it is 2022 and not 1972? One useful tactic is to bring yourself into the present moment. Bringing yourself into the present helps you feel more calm and relaxed. Being present helps us be more responsive rather than reactive.
