    Big Trust, Puppies and Pillows

    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 trust This 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. Info@lavendermind.com Thanks and have a wonderful day!!!!
