Worries and anxiety keep growing in today’s fast-paced world. Grounding techniques can help you find the calm you need to be at your best. Learn how to self-soothe your body, mind and soul in this podcast with functional medicine specialist Melissa Young.

Welcome to another episode of Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick. Today, we dive into the depths of emotional and psychological healing with Aundi Kolber as we explore the intricate interplay between somatic experiences, Internal Family Systems, and the transformative power of embracing our emotions with grace and strength.

In this episode, we delve into Aundi's remarkable insights on somatic awareness, the body's intuitive sense of safety, and navigating challenging emotions with curiosity rather than criticism. Aundi shares how her bestselling book, "Try Softer," has influenced the lives of many and how her journey continues in her latest work, "Strong Like Water," an exploration of strength as a dynamic and adaptable force, much like the nature of water itself.

Join us as Aundi takes us through a compelling conversation about validating emotions, employing grounding techniques, and understanding trauma's impact on our perception of safety. Together, Michael and Aundi discuss how podcasts like ours serve as a beacon of connection and healing, how faith intertwines with psychological well-being, and the importance of integrating our whole selves for a compelling journey toward healing.

This time, I sat down with a returning guest, my spouse, Laird. Our conversation is about the mental load of parenting and how we've navigated through it. Here's what we covered:

▶︎ Defining the unseen burden of mental load

▶︎ Laird and I open up about our discussions (and disagreements) over household chores. Discover how we turned these talks into a chore schedule that works for us.

▶︎ Parenting inundates us with constant stimuli. Drawing from his expertise, Laird shares how he advises his patients to find balance and grounding techniques that work.

▶︎ How to reconnect with ourselves in moments of chaos. Laird introduces easy techniques that have been a game-changer for us during those chaotic days.

In this episode Chloe shares her experience with Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) tapping (27:21). EFT tapping involves tapping on specific acupressure points while focusing on an issue you want to resolve. It works by sending a calming signal to the amygdala, the part of the brain that controls the fight or flight response. This helps calm the nervous system and reprogram limiting beliefs or negative emotions.

The setup statement in EFT tapping is said while tapping on the side of the hand. It goes:"Even though I have this [insert problem], I choose to love and accept myself anyway."  You repeat this setup statement 3 times while tapping on the side of your hand.

Some additions key takeaways from the episode include:
- Writing down goals and manifestations during the Lions Gate portal from July 26 to August 12 can help them come to fruition more quickly due to the abundant energy during this time.

- Imagining releasing negative thoughts and emotions into a balloon and letting it float away can be an effective grounding exercise to release mental and emotional clutter.

- Telling white lies can continue to haunt you as the story repeats itself in awkward situations.

- Consider the implications of going commando at the gym.

- Tigga Mac (https://www.instagram.com/tigga_mac/) has some great kids cake hacks.

In this episode Chloe shares her experiences with an energy healing (27:00).  What is an energy healer I hear you ask, listen on to find out. Chloe explains that her energy coach helps her identify and name her feelings, teaches her grounding techniques to regulate her nervous system, and uses exercises like magic boxing and cord cutting to release limiting beliefs and negative energy. 

Chloe & Steph also discuss the Barbie movie (0:54)  and touch on if life in plastic really is fantastic. Steph talks about living in a man’s world and how Male data points are used in many things that impact our lives - such as the air conditioning temperature in offices. 

They circle back to the conversation they had (E11: Face mapping) about the menstrual cycle and talk about how we can harness our cycle when training (6:39).  Steph starts a discussion about avoiding filler words like "just" and "sorry" (14:00) and how we can reframe things.  We then pull a lovely card for the week (22:30) and discuss the full moon in  Aquarius and other astrological happenings.

Today’s episode is all about how to overcome social anxiety and imposter syndrome when you are networking. I know I’m not the only one that goes to an event but then finds a corner and stays there the whole time I don’t have to speak to anyone! I challenged myself to not do that anymore and I share the things that helped me along the way.

Highlights on social anxiety:

1. Preparation: Familiarize yourself with the event, attendees, or topics of conversation beforehand. This can give you a sense of control and reduce anxiety.
2. Visualization: Visualize yourself successfully navigating the event. This can help build confidence and reduce feelings of anxiety.
3. Mindfulness exercises: Techniques like deep breathing or meditation can help you stay present and focused, reducing feelings of anxiety.
4. Grounding techniques: Find a way to feel connected to the here and now. This might be focusing on the feel of your feet on the ground, or the taste of the drink in your hand.

Highlights on Imposter syndrome:

1. Focus on Skills and Achievements: Remind yourself of your skills, qualifications, and past achievements. They validate that you're competent and deserving. “I belong here”
2. Reframe Failure: Instead of viewing failure as a reflection of your abilities, view it as an opportunity for learning and growth.
3. Mentorship: Hearing that others have been in your shoes can normalize your feelings.
4. Positive Affirmations: Practice positive self-talk and affirmations. Replacing negative thoughts with positive ones can boost your self-esteem and reduce feelings of being a fraud.

Remember, confidence comes with practice. So, start small and give yourself credit for every step you take. We're all learning and growing, and every challenge we face is a chance for us to shine even brighter.

Help manage strong emotions by using all 5 senses with this mindful activity using the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique!

What is the 5-4-3-2-1 Technique? The 5-4-3-2-1 Technique (sometimes referred to as the 54321 Method) is a great coping tool that uses all five senses to help alleviate and manage anxiety and overstimulation. This grounding technique helps with these feelings by detaching you from the anxious thoughts and refocusing you onto the present moment by narrowing-in on each sense, one at a time.

The “Be still”  meditation is helpful for slowing down and recentering your thoughts. During this meditation, you will recite the first part of Psalm 46:10. After you recite it, take a deep breath. Then shorten it by one phrase and take another deep breath. Meditate on the words as I lead you through this exercise.

I’ll walk you through the exercise and provide prompts to help you remember the order when you do this on your own. These are the prompts my daughter uses.

Square breathing is an exercise where you breathe in and out evenly. It is also a great exercise to include tactile stimulation for an additional grounding effect by drawing a box on your leg, arm, or palm as you breathe in and out. Let’s practice together.
