Yesterday my neighbors were acting crazy, yelling and fighting.
It triggered me BIG TIME.
My brain knew it wasn't happening to me, but my body didn't. I was stuck in freeze mode. My body was fighting against me, despite being aware of the fact that I was okay, my body felt we were in danger.
Normally I would have just pushed past this and kept on trucking... Which would have put me into a further spiral of paralysis.
So instead, I honored my body. I gave myself grace. I paused and nurtured myself by snuggling under the blankets with my dogs in the safety of my bed. I had a nap. I drank some water. I didn't take on anything else. I watched a cooking show (my go to stress reduction method haha), and I let my body and my inner child know we were safe and we were okay.
This changed everything for me. Monday morning has arrived and I am not stuck in a spiral! I am here and showing up and present.
I just thought I would share with those who may be able to relate. We got this ;) xoxo Abby
