While you can learn to befriend your nervous system, the goal is not control.

Rather influence.

While working to better partner with your nervous system, welcome patience as a good friend.

Patience is the secret sauce as you learn to support your body and give it what it needs so that it is able to find safety and shift states.

Be patient. Don't rush. It takes as long as it takes.

While it's not necessarily intentional, the impact is similar.

Emotional awareness is key to healthy relationships, and without it, disconnection reigns.

It's amazing how much healing these things hold for us....

and often our suffering is the key to unlock them.
