Fine

My nervous system is fine, thanks. I’m not triggered but maybe I am irritated, sad, upset, excited, anticipatory, alive. I’m always curious about what we think might be possible for calmness when living life. Since when did having a soothed nervous system become a status symbol or is it a modern wellness tyranny? Passing on the responsibility for this to the individual, when too many anxieties are societally induced. It’s too much to expect to have permanent Buddha-like zen vibes unless you lie in that mythical cave. Back in the market place, the task is to be aware, and to use that awareness to know when to withdraw, drop out, dodge the bullets of unsuitable relationships, find ways to detach from unnecessary expectations, and ultimately make wiser choices.
