This week we talked about how to take good care of your nervous system in times of uncertainty.
Some of the things we talked about:
- Journaling for clarity and honouring our feelings
- Giving ourselves time to rest and process uncomfortable experiences
- Gathering hope and inspiration
- Keeping our mind settled in self-care, friends, family, community
- Avoiding getting swamped by negative news
- Practice focusing on the present and where we can make effective choices
“I’m not trying to hide from the truth but to balance it, to remind myself that there are other truths, too. ”
