Big Trust, Puppies and Pillows
from Lavender Mind · host Katie Ballanco
Trust sounds spiritual....Until my nice pillows are chewed! ????What does trust look like in real life?Sometimes it looks like a brand-new puppy.Chewed pillows.And standing in the middle of what looks lide snow-except you live in southern Louisiana, and it's actually pillow stuffing scattered everywhere.In this episode, we talk about trust as a practice, not a personality trait.Not something you "have" once life feels safe-but something you return to again and again, right in the middle of uncertainty, mess and everyday moments.We explore:-Why trust is really about where your attention goes-How gratitude gently calms the nervous system without pretending everything is fine-What it means to regulate worries to the periphery instead of letting them sit at the center of your mind-And how coming back to center-again and again-is its own form of trustThis is a quiet reflective episode, with a little bit of life humor that I seem to never escape. It is a reminder that you don't have to solve the worlds problems or your own to feel into this Trust.We can always choose where our attention goes.Closing idea- "I come back to center, again and again."If you enjoyed this, share it with someone you think would enjoy it. I always appreciate you being here! If you would like to get in touch with me. [email protected] and have a wonderful day!!!!
