What did you do today to chip away at your hypervigilance?

I did some Mindfulness guided audio - so a 15 minute body scan, and a couple of 3 minute Breathing Spaces.

I looked at share housing options.

Meditation helps me relax, as does being in nature, with kids or animals, deep breathing etc.

Also... remembering that I don't have to stay in my old headspace of believing I'm not safe or worthy of any good thing. When I remember I'm an adult now with options, it helps quite a bit. Helps me feel a heck of a lot less powerless n fearful

I transplanted several broccoli plants, watered my gardens, broke up a chicken fight between two moms, found all the lost chicks and weeded. It really helped, except the chicken fight and hurt baby.

My husband and I left a preschool orientation last night very amped up. I'll make a post about that in a minute. We discussed afterward what we were each doing to calm down. He was control breathing. I was being mindful of the trees. We also drove around for about an hour before we went home.

Stopped terrorizing myself with my thoughts! Started imagining good outcomes! Oddly effective. In fact, so effective i don't exacty trust it yet...

I have done nothing to chose to chip at my hypervigilance today.

@Disco Dancing Queen, I have hugs for you, eggs of all colors, and I will make zucchini bread and little sandwiches and we can have tea.

I laughed and laughed at @C j's link to the Day-o song.

I decided to make a reasonable decision given my current health.

Removed myself from mister's presence as he's turned the gaslighting up a few notches.

I did some exercises for my hips and back.

I woke up determined to feel good about myself, regardless of how my mother tries to manipulate me.
