Are you looking for an easy way to track your mind/body nervous system responses? These free, printable Window of Tolerance Self Check In Gauges are designed for your offices, classrooms, homes and yoga spaces.
This Window of Tolerance Self Check In Gauge was inspired by the work of Daniel Siegel and Theresa Dutcher (DIS-SOS). When we are in the window of tolerance, we are better able to rest, digest and restore– and are able to best function in our everyday lives.
When we are exposed to trauma, research shows that our window of tolerance is narrowed, and it doesn’t take much to through our minds and bodies out of whack. With ongoing practice tracking our moods, sensations and nervous system responses, we may be able to expand our time in the window of tolerance (yellow zone in this graphic).
If we find ourselves outside of our window of tolerance, there are a variety of practices we can try to build up or bring down our arousal. An invitation to stay curious as you begin to explore what helps you to activate or calm your energy levels throughout your day. If it serves you, try noticing what you notice. Take all the time you need.
