I almost skipped my walk this morning. Even on the walk, my mind was focused on complaining and trying to skip the inclines I normally challenge myself with.
I decided to use music to help me focus. As I reached for my headphones, a question came to mind: Do I really need music or am I just avoiding being present with what’s arising?
I knew the answer, so I put my headphones away and allowed myself to be curious about what was arising within. This is one way I strengthen the mind-body connection and ground myself in the present. Regulating the nervous system to help nurture capacity and resilience.
How can showing up fully in small moments help you grow your capacity and resilience? How could this help prepare you for life’s bigger tests?
