[Image: the letters H A L T are at the top. Below is the text “Before engaging in any self-destructive behavior, ask yourself. Are you:
Hungry: When did I last eat? Is my hunger emotional or does my body need food? If your body is asking for food, find something nutritious to snack on.
Angry: What’s are you dealing with right now that is stressful? Is the stress what’s making you angry? Find out ways you’re angry and find ways to diffuse that anger.
Lonely: When is the last time you socialized? Was it a positive or negative experience? Reach out to your support system. Let them to help you.
Tired: Have I been getting enough rest and giving my body the breaks it needs? How can you energize yourself? Take some time to yourself and relax.

In my practice, we call these “body checks” because they also include things like checking in on pain levels, temperature resilience, and feelings of vulnerability.
It’s a really valuable coping skill.
