Welcome to my Why!<\/strong><\/h2>

I believe in the why.<\/p>

A strange sentence I am sure, however I believe that the WHY? Is one of the most important question to most things in life.<\/p>

So in this instance the why to why I decided to add a merchandise brand to my therapy business.<\/p>

This is completely a personal need I wanted to fulfil I have been sent down the neurodivergent pathway...who knew what those genes could possibly create!<\/p>

To be honest when you tread this road you get to hear words that had never been uttered ( at least in my 46 years on this planet) Like REGULATION (as in self care or wellbeing)!)<\/p>

At so many times in a day I needed something I could use to help me remember how to regulate and co regulate. ( Regulation is to say that your nervous system is balanced and clam.....Co-regulation is using your calm nervous system to calm another and bring down their state of alarm)<\/p>

When you enter the flight and fight, which for me ( she uneasily admits is several times a day ) I will admit I forget all my training and all the tools I have slip away, so wearing something or having something with me where I can either regulate or my child can indication verbally where we are emotionally is a game changer. Even with the slogans to aid recall that, yes there is a \"why' or I am \" a work in progress\" or simply it is ok \"just to be\".<\/p>

I am allowed just to be I don't have to act, I don't have to produce, I don't have to know the answers.<\/p>

If my body needs me to stop then that's ok. I want to be a well being<\/em> not a<\/p>

dis-regualted being<\/em>. I like it when I have a happy nervous system<\/p>

Then I discovered Teemill who ethically source and recycle fashionable products for a healthier planet, so my small collection was born.<\/p>","urlTitle":"welcome-to-my-why","url":"\/blog\/welcome-to-my-why\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/welcome-to-my-why\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/wwd.teemill.com\/blog\/welcome-to-my-why\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1729592911,"updatedAt":1729597375,"publishedAt":1729597375,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":301664,"name":"Woof Wellness Designs"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/e2ttodxmihlh2cddoebjbdwookdsy6eit0vjzfepgyv63smj.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/e2ttodxmihlh2cddoebjbdwookdsy6eit0vjzfepgyv63smj.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/e2ttodxmihlh2cddoebjbdwookdsy6eit0vjzfepgyv63smj.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"Woolf wellness regulation clothing and more..","metaDescription":"Woolf wellness, self care for regulating and co-regulating reminders .
