This Cardinal looks like he's got a secret. I think he does. The birds outside my window don't appear to be concerned about very much except going about their daily business, taking care of themselves. If they get chased by a predator, they run, they fly, and then they rest and allow their nervous systems a break. We are in this kind of position ourselves right now. So much is happening with current events that it taxes the nervous system. It's important for me to acknowledge how it's all affecting my CPTSD and then to do the things that help me steady myself again. The secret is self-care. It's self love. Love yourself so much that you can't help but take care of yourself. It will spill over into loving others.
Love, Cheri
