CJ’s 5 steps to a reset

Journaling

Get all of your thoughts out. Keep writing all of the good, bad, and the ugly. Get it all out on a page and purge your troubled mind.

Reflection

Reflect on your journaling and decide which areas you need to take accountability for and which actions you consider wins. 

Accountability

Make amends, to not only your peers, family, or friends, but yourself as well. Apologize and add other perspectives to your experience by talking with others you have affected.

Planning

Strategize and plan how you will handle triggering scenarios moving forward. What tools, tips, tricks, or techniques will you implement when you feel emotions rise?

Grace and forgiveness

Check in with yourself and others regularly and offer grace and forgiveness as you learn a new behavior and way of responding.
