Healing the nervous system from a life of chronic stress and/or trauma is not fast, sexy, easy, or even fun. But, man does a regulated nervous system make life SO MUCH BETTER!!! For you and everyone around you.

Making a commitment to show up for yourself in a new way can feel exciting initially, but as the weeks pass by and novelty starts to fade, staying faithful to your commitment can start to feel oh-so-hard.

I took them out of their packaging hung them up around the yard and then waited with eager anticipation for them to light up once the sun went down.

You don’t have to if you don’t want. It’s true.
I don’t know where in the day you will be tempted to negotiate, compromise or negotiate your way out of a commitment you previously made when your values were at the forefront of your mind, but surely you will be tempted.
