Simple things that create change.
When was the last time you REALLY took in the sunrise or the sunset? …Listened to the birds in the morning? …Felt the sun on your skin? …Walked barefoot on the grass? …Or just lay on the grass? (Hopefully it happened today!!!)
Consciously choosing to pause in your day and become present WILL cause a shift in your nervous system.
We often over-complicate what it takes to feel different. But it can be quite simple.
When we take in what is good and safe NOW, it’s very hard for the alarm bells in our brain to remain on at the same level.
But taking in goodness and registering safety is actually something that you might need to consciously train.
If your nervous system has become accustomed to staying on high alert and constantly scanning for threat it will take conscious, directed thought and focus to do otherwise.
But like anything, when we practice it becomes easier … Until the day it becomes innate.
You have more control over your nervous system and your state than you might first think.
For 5 days commit to pausing at least three times in your day. And then consciously tune into something in your surroundings that is beautiful, calming or ‘good’. Stay with it for long enough to sense how you respond on the inside.
Then let me know!
Are you less anxious? More relaxed? Do you have more perspective?
