When I was a nervous prego I started to repeat a mantra so I still do that if I'm anxious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-self-soothing-technique#post-663535 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 08:50:05 +0000 loveisstrange 663535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shake my foot too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-self-soothing-technique#post-663533 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 08:48:50 +0000 babycanuck 663533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the hip thing and it drives my DH nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-self-soothing-technique#post-663521 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 08:27:11 +0000 MrsRoo 663521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: I shake my left foot too! If I'm really having trouble falling asleep, I start at my toes and clench and relax every muscle in my body all the way up to my face. It's something I learned in a yoga class years ago and it always works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-self-soothing-technique#post-663506 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 08:11:13 +0000 blackbird 663506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I snuggle my cat.

She lays on her tummy and shakes herself to sleep. </p> <p>I don't do anything to self soothe. I just fall asleep. does sex count? B/c that always makes me sleepy. Sorry if TMI! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-self-soothing-technique#post-663381 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 23:44:18 +0000 Weagle 663381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! I move my hips from side to side to rock myself to sleep. Sometimes I rub my feet together too. And if I'm really really tired, I will revert (in my sleep) to my childhood self-soothing technique of flopping my left foot. </p>
