What the crossing guard has to do with your nervous system
Last week I was taking my morning walk after dropping my son at school. I was aware that my nervous system needed a little extra care that morning, as I reflected on how I'd taken a deeper dive than usual into the news the night before.
I was feeling the impact of so much up in our world, wanting to stay connected to what's happening and also feeling the gravity of it all.
So I went outside to ground, breathe fresh air, move my body and be in the sunshine.
I chose the route that goes by the elementary school, as it was arrival time and hearing the chattering of children as they walk by always delights me.
