Getting to understand and know my nervous system has been a game changer.
Our body and system is wired for safety, constantly scanning our surroundings for cues of potential threat or safety, perceived or real. Itโs a beautiful dynamic system, designed to keep us alive.
This experience is unique to each individual. What my nervous system interpret as safe or a potential threat may differ significantly from someoneโs elseโs.
Though my learning and personal exploration of my own system it has broadened my understanding of human behaviours. Itโs softened my judgements and expanded my capacity for compassion. It has helped me navigate relationships, and increased my curiosity to understand rather than judge.
This journey of self discovery has revealed to me many insights into my own behaviours, reactions, choices and the narratives that I tell myself. And as my depth of understanding into my own system has grown Iโve been able to attune to the subtle ways that my body is communicating with me. In doing so I am able to respond to what my body actually needs rather than react based on the coping tools I have created over my life. This in turn has gifted me a way to navigate life in a way to support myself in building my capacity to create a life and move towards bringing my dreams into reality.
To move with life from where you are now towards your goals will push your nervous system towards some edges. It is in how we meet these edges that allows for us to grow with life. When we support ourselves at these edges we allow for the space to expand outwards and discover more about ourselves and what is available for us.
This is a lifetime journey of self discovery. The more we learn about ourselves and understand why we do the things we do, we open ourselves up to being able to make the shifts that will support us moving forward.
