I am very good at a crisis. However, afterwards, I often crash. The efforts required to keep myself together as I am facing challenges depletes my reserves.
This morning, I have learned that my mother has made it through her night in ICU and her vitals look good. Surgery took much longer than anticipated, and the amount of anesthesia required resulted in her needing to be intubated since she stopped breathing. Soon they will remove the tubes and her recovery can proceed more gently, as I tend to my nervous system with self care.
Are you good in a crisis? What do you need afterward to replenish your resources and reserves? Ki to Happiness needs yoga practice before, during and after crisis.
