Settling back into Phase 1, adjustment and adaptation are essential. Overall, I am satisfied with my shifts. Then there’s the alarming email indicating double charges on my credit card for one tech account. Cortisol rises, fearing another hack like in the past.
Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) shows up like this. Recognizing it, the rising prickly heat alerts me to work with my breathing and my attention. Realigning with my highest values, and my choice of attention, brings me back to the present. So much easier to help others this way. Yet that practice strengthens my ability to do so for myself.
Are you familiar with PTSD? Do you know anyone that doesn’t have it? Ki to Happiness chooses to come back into the present, disempowering the past.
