Loving a new baby is important. Loving yourself is too. Here are some tips and ideas to help:

When a situation feels challenging, try to pause and notice how “hot” your emotions are running. Just like a gauge for your physical temperature, this thermometer can help you determine the intensity of your emotional temperature. Awareness itself often helps us begin to adjust the volume of our emotions. Keep this visual on your phone or place it somewhere prominent in your house or at work to help you be mindful of and attentive to your emotions anywhere, anytime. Great for kids and adults!

Now that you can recognize the intensity level of your emotion, use this visual to determine which resources are most effect at each level of dysregulation. If your emotional temp is high, it may be hard to think clearly and have complex conversations. Try these techniques to lower your physical and emotional temp so that you can return to the issue at hand when you are more regulated.
