17 Week 17

Life feels like it is unfolding in layers. 

I wish I understood how the mind and body work better. I feel like I'm uncovering things that have the potential to change my life quite radically. I'm loved. My body is good. I can be present in each moment. I don't have to live distracted, frantic. My faith can by mystical and spiritual. 

The recovery feels slow, but what are the options, eh? I'm grateful for the guides along the way, the nudges, the direct teaching, the therapy, the friends, nature, my instincts, all of it. Feeling hopeful after all these years. Sad as the layers come back, but hopeful. 

Highlights: 

- Continuing to recognize what exactly a hypervigilant life looks like in real-life

- Making small changes as the layers come off

Next Week: 

- Continue the unfolding

- Don't give up
