With all that’s going on in the world today, one of the most important things we can do is nourish our nervous systems in any way we can. With rest, with connection to loved ones, with small moments of joy & beauty, offering kindness & care, eating nutritious food to fuel our body & comfort food when we need it, time off from doom scrolling (and preferably intentionally choosing trusted social media that inspires), mindfulness & meditation, quiet time, nature, walking, knitting—whatever things soothe your own unique nervous systems, that give your senses, your body & mind a break. It’s not irresponsible, it’s the most important thing we can do to ensure that we can show up in the world in the ways we want to, and continue to have compassion, kindness, empathy & care. So I’m committing to sharing how I’m caring for my own nervous system daily, with little things & sometimes bigger things. Today, I’m sharing pictures of some unusual & beautiful flowers I have in my home. I’m lucky enough to be friends with the grower & every time I look at them they bring me joy! I know I’m supporting a local small business, that they are grown with love, and I like to imagine all the other people who they are bringing so much joy to. They lift my heart, connect me to my community & remind me to see the beauty all around in troubling times. Hoping you all are finding ways to care for your nervous systems & sending you much love!
