I really felt the resonance in how you framed the dance between safety, challenge, and overwhelm — and especially the reminder that we can't think our way back to safety.
That “felt sense” piece is everything.
So often I push forward without recognizing that my nervous system never actually left the red zone — and then wonder why everything feels effortful.
Your words reminded me that honoring that return to safety isn't indulgent — it's the groundwork for meaningful challenge. Thank you. 🪴
I so appreciate your reflection. I too have spent so much time pushing forward, realizing I never left the red zone which makes things so much harder. Returning to safety definitely isn't indulgent. It helps our mind, body and spirit.
