      <image:title>Blog - From Burnout to Balance: The Role of Self-Care - Step 1: I create my own personal paradise daily through experiential evidenced based somatic tools, which ground me into my body and shift me out of a sympathetic stress state into a parasympathetic relaxation state. These somatic self-soothing tools include taking mindful moments, practicing meditation, grounding into my 5 senses, regular movement through exercise and hatha yoga, monthly massages and daily self-massage, 7-8 hours of sleep nightly, daily intentional rest (often in the form of nightly restorative poses and yoga nidra, which is yogic sleep), daily contrast showers, weekly dips in the ocean, regular play time with my son, and safe social connection with friends. Each of these tools help to create safety in the body by stimulating the vagus nerve, which is like a superhighway for mental health because it allows us to counteract our body’s unconscious stress responses.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Step 2: Once the body feels safe, calm, and grounded, I aim to consciously reframe my anxious thoughts through intentional self-reflection and self-compassion to build awareness of and reframe unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors. While it took me years of therapy to identify and work toward healing my patterns of codependency, perfectionism, anticipatory anxiety, and people pleasing, I am now able to catch and reframe distorted thoughts before they send me spiraling. As a result, I am able to set healthy boundaries personally and professionally in order to better balance my work and home responsibilities. It’s still not perfect, but I’ve come a long way toward a healthier work-life balance.</image:caption>
