If so, start with the "negative only" round to honor those feelings first .Audit Your Intake: Experiment with reading the news instead of watching it to reduce the emotional impact on your nervous system.Why This Episode MattersMidlife is already complex enough without carrying the weight of the entire world on your shoulders. When we get mired down by external strife, our bodies stay in a state of high alert. This practice gives you a way to acknowledge the reality of the world while still choosing to create a safe, calm space within your own body.Support the show🌸 Liked this episode?
