Perspective is everything. Big things are happening, and when I look at them, they seem beyond big, and threatening. This big flower today reminded me that while many things are outside of my power to sweepingly change, I can change small things—or things that seem small but can contribute to the greater good. In this way, I can also comfort my own heart. I can be kind. I can look for ways to uplift and support others. I can share my experiences so that others don’t feel alone. I can do everything in my power to regulate my own nervous system so that when I am around others, there’s a better chance of us co-regulating together. I can hate a circumstance, but still love others. I can love myself first, so that I have the capacity to love others. Do what you can, in your own way and love yourself first.
Love, Cheri
