Autopilot does not run this show.
My emotional reflexes do not run my life.
Lacking awareness is where I used to be.
Here and now,
When I've got high stress and emotional overwhelm,
I sit with my safety plan.
I deploy safety practices and safety signals to my entire body.
I am regulating myself now.
I recognize what happened outside me and inside me that activated the red alerts.
I also see how my reactions are about my past.
I breathe deeply and I see why I'm so comfortable.
Going into autopilot,
I keep on breathing as I see how autopilot is hurting me now.
I turn my attention to my senses.
I count backwards if that helps.
I change my attention to the physical environment around me if that helps.
I turn my focus to my body and the sensation of my breathing.
I take the remote control of my attention and I turn it to self-regulation.
I keep breathing through this.
I am observing my thoughts.
I say the opposite if I need to.
I am observing what my impulses are saying.
I am widening the window to react differently.
I am observing my beliefs behind my impulses.
I am stepping through a new door to respond better than before.
I continue my powerful practices.
As I apply my tools for self-regulation,
I am leaving behind my big reactions and coming here to self-regulation.
I am feeling more and more regulated.
I picture what represents self-regulation for me.
As I continue using the remote control of my attention,
I turn it to self-regulation.
I am empowered for self-regulation.
When I feel impulses,
When I feel triggers,
When I feel out of control,
I am practicing self-regulation.
I am strengthening my skills,
My abilities,
And my tools.
I am feeling better now.
I am feeling so much better now.
