What are a few alternatives to being at war with your nervous system that you could invite in? Are there any that seem interesting, possible, or even exciting? Which ones?
If I keep imagining my nervous system as a person and try to look at her lovingly, there is probably no one in the world that is as invested in my safety and ultimately well being as my nervous system. No one has ever fought for me as hard. She has never left me even when I told her to fuck off a million times.
If I look at it this way, it’s impossible for me to not be touched and grateful for everything that she has done for me.
I would probably thank her and try to calm her and talk about why she tries to warn me in this situation (just like we invite our feelings for a cuppa). Then we could decide together what to do next and if this is actually a fire🔥 or just a burnt toast. We would work together like a team.
Any advice on how to trust myself more that I will always find a solution? This is something that I still struggle with.
Answer:
Love this. Keep building that relationship with your nervous system with this as a guide. Expect it to be an ongoing process.
As for your question, within what you’re asking is a belief about how you would feel if you always had a solution. Do some journaling around that. What feeling do you think you’d have if you trusted yourself more? What state would your nervous system be in? What percent of the time does your brain think you should trust yourself?
