Tune in.

“Tuning in” can help you understand your emotional and physical needs better.

Have you heard of HALT?

Ever have those moments where you feel sad or frustrated but can’t figure out why? The HALT technique can help you tune into your thoughts and feelings!

HALT stands for hungry, angry, lonely, tired, four common sources of daily stress. Checking for and attending to these seemingly small needs can make a big difference. The HALT technique is used in the recovery community to help participants stay on-goal. It’s also been taught to nurses to reduce medication errors.

By pausing to assess if you are hungry, angry, lonely, or tired, you can get a read for how you are feeling overall and take action to attend to your basic needs. It’s amazing what a quick snack or sending a text to connect with a friend can do for your mood!
