•Draw two loops (use color if you want) and label them with the words you want to use to signify stretch, savor, stress, and survive.

•Add the midpoint line and label that. This is tipping point where you recognize you are moving out of the safety of the ventral state into the energy of survival.

•Choose an experience where you were trying something new or trying to do something familiar in a different way. Track it on your continuum. The goal is to gently shape a new pattern and then spend a moment deepening it. Did you stay on the stretch and savor side, or did you cross over the midpoint into the loop of stress and survive? When that happens, you are no longer shaping a new pattern but instead traveling an old pattern of protection.

•Think about something you want to reshape and use the stretch to stress guide to create a plan to do that. Play with changes that keep you anchored in the stretch and savor loop. See what takes you to your midpoint. Identify what moves you into the stress and survive loop.
