"When we stimulate the skin, we can release, literally, a shower of healing chemicals into our blood stream." ~ Deepak Chopra 


Touch can soothe, comfort and convey caring in a way that words never can. Touch has the power to heal us, connect us, and ease pain. 

It also lessens anxiety and softens the blows of life. 

The simple act of healthy touch is so powerful that it can slow your heart rate, decrease your blood pressure, and strengthen your immune system.

Make time for:

Loving relationships

Self-expression

Actively Focusing on Good Thoughts

Confidence Builders:

Wear clothes you like

Exercise and/or take self defense classes 


Regular, healthful exercise clears the mind, lifts the spirits and releases natural pain releaving endorphins.


Set healthy, reasonable, empowering boundaries

Be self-compassionate and self-protective


Reduce activities that cloud perception, such as the excessive consumption of alcohol/cigarettes/vape/drugs and keeping company with negative people.

 

Role play - work through issues with a trusted mentor. 


Find activities that are so enjoyable, so rich, so full, that you don’t have time to entertain the bully/negatives - you’re too busy cultivating your own fun.


Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Assume the Supergirl stance

Smile
