Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Tuesday 14th August 2018

Hello lovely trauma family

Thought we would begin with that lovable bear Winnie the Pooh....." I don't feel very much like Pooh today, " said Pooh. "There, there," said Piglet. "I'll bring you tea and honey till you do."

You know how a song plays over and over in your head, for whatever reason, and maybe its significant, or maybe you just like it. This week its been a very old hymn, in fact it was written by Priscilla Owens in 1882 . Will your anchor hold in the storms of life When the clouds unfold their wings of strife? When the strong tides lift and the cables strain Will your anchor drift or firm remain?

We've been weathering a stormy and stressful time here of late, and this reminded me of how we need an anchor, something to hold on to in the midst of it all. What anchors us when it gets very stressful? When we notice the signals of stress and tension, do we know how to anchor ourselves, know what is going to regain some balance for us.

How is your day going? What would you say anchors you when its stressful? What do you think could be helpful? Or pop in to say hi! You're welcome here.This is your space and a safe place. x
