Subscriber First Name, Wow, what is not going on for the collective right now? …n@zis showing up in Nashville regularly, political violence against the former president (with so many different hypotheses on what really happened), and controversy over the opening ceremony of the summer Olympics, to name a few notable happenings. The most important question amid all of this turmoil (and anything else I didn’t mention that is stressful) is: Are you taking care of yourself?When chaos happens in the external world, it can often feel like it’s happening to us. While difficult things do happen to many of us, odds are, they’re not happening directly to us at this exact moment. And for that, we can be grateful and decide to regulate our nervous systems. Remember to ground, become present, extend compassion to those who are impacted directly, and take care of yourself so that you can continue to heal. This enables you to get to a place where you can mobilize to take the next best step, whatever that may be for you. Even if your next best step is to take a nap, or have a nourishing meal with a trusted friend. Even if you’re not a front-lines activist! (And even if you are!) When you heal yourself, you are then able to help heal the world. And, no matter where you are in your self healing journey and your role to play in the larger world, your own healing matters in the larger world, even if you can’t see how or fathom that it does. Here are a few resources you might like that can also add more perspective.
