Love the hummingbird advice. It came at the right time. What a day. There’s a similar exercise where you focus on a point but use your peripheral vision and think about the feeling you want gone. Thx.
Hoo boy, I needed this! There are days when I give zero fucks and days when I give so many, and it feels like a bottomless well of them. But I’m starting to shift into “I’ve handled all of this before” and it already feels better.
This is great advice. I essentially did this every day for 12 weeks in the summer with the therapy program I was doing. Starting with earliest trauma memory. And putting it on loop for days and weeks on end. Yep, it got worse before it got better, but this hummingbird stuff works! I love the analogy. Because I also love hummingbirds. ❤️xo

I'd love to know more about this... is it a CBT or self-hypnosis thing?
It’s a Hawaiian exercise called Hakalau. I will find instructions and email it to you.

Yeah, I'm so curious about us mining our innate wisdom. xo

Wow... 12 weeks is such a marathon to confront. I'm in awe. What great self work. The hummingbird is such a little gift. xo
