Hmm.

How does something feel in the moment, right? Like, excitement doesn't necessarily mean safety.

So if you're feeling like your emotion, your body is heightened, that might be a sign that, that maybe you should do something a little bit differently.

Don't ac- necessarily act on impulse right away.

Give yourself time to think about a situation or, um, you know, if you're going out with a partner and you're in this kind of mood instability piece, give yourself time to sit with it and say, like, "Does this feel right to me? Does, should I be doing something different?" And there's a skill in, uh, DBT called opposite action.

So, you know, very basic.

The idea behind it is if you're feeling something, your body's going to want to respond the way it knows, right? So if you're feeling really anxious, then maybe you want to hide away and go within, go inside yourself.

What are some more, I guess, um, hands-on strategies or ways that a person can really, like, on paper, so to speak, or in small actions, get to re-date themselves, you know, get to know themselves all over again?
