Butterfly Hug
😬 Stress and anxiety both have a way of piling up & piling up fast on your lupus journey.
☝️One key way to help with anxiety and stress is a technique called “butterfly tapping,” or “butterfly hug.”
🦋 1. Cross arms over your chest
- Interlock your thumbs like the shape of a butterfly.
- Slow alternating tap one hand then the other
like butterfly wings. - Repeat for 1-3 minutes
🦋 The Butterfly Hug is an easy relaxation technique that can be used anywhere, at any time.
🦋 It is a great self-soothing tool. The butterfly hug is a type of bilateral stimulation because it crosses the mid line of the body.
🦋 The butterfly hug is an immediate stress-reducing technique that is grounding & helps you process emotions in real time.
