Triggers & The Nervous System
Food for Thought
You know that feeling of little things getting under your skin, again and again, feeling frustrated and wishing you did not feel like that?
What if the state of your nervous system has a direct correlation to how much you can handle those irritations on any given day? If your nervous system is dysregulated, those things land so much harder.
Instead of pushing harder or being hard on yourself, what you should actually be doing is nurturing yourself, breathing, teaching your body safety, and waiting for your nervous system to regulate. Go really easy on yourself.
It is so easy to love yourself and be kind to yourself when you are doing everything right, when you are calm, when you are responding instead of reacting, when you are getting through your work, when you are helping others. Then you feel good about yourself, and you love yourself.
Today is about asking, how do I show myself that same love, compassion and patience when I do not get it perfect?
