That's a good one! And changing the physiology is truly amazing. Though I rarely, if ever, think to do this when I'm feeling particularly crabby, I've also learned that it's impossible to stay grumpy when you stop and shake your rear. :) Thanks Stacy — I like taking a snuggle break to read together too.

I hold most of my stress in my jaw. Since having children, my bite has gotten completely out of whack. I look forward to correcting this crazy teeth grinding issue - may require more than what I wrote in this post though. :) Me too!! I hold most of my stress in my jaw.

Oh my -- motherhood is so challenging when you're sick, isn't it? Goodness, our family had a rough go a couple weeks ago when all four of us were sick for a week. Health is such a critical piece to loving care pie for sure. Thanks for the comment Jenn! Oh my — motherhood is so challenging when you’re sick, isn’t it?

I like, particularly, how global/general they are, how they really are about shifting our perspective rather than "doing" something. In addition to mindshifts, I have a few specific things I try when things are getting tense... we go outside; we snuggle up and read in bed (this is great, especially when I am tired); I take a break and either sit quietly for a few moments (this one is hard to pull of, since the kids often want me, but they are older now and if I come from the right place energetically, this works).

I love the first one. I am amazed at how quickly and involuntarily my body reflects my stress. Super helpful! I love the first one.

I have a terrible cold today and my 10 month old was having a difficult day too. The reassurance is always helpful. Thank you!

After having my 5th baby four weeks ago, I have found that my breathing and yoga are total sanity savers when things get hectic here. And remembering that "this too shall pass" is always helpful, too. Thanks for sharing! Excellent advice!
