## Caption

Earlier this year I mentioned I turned off the news in 2008/09 and never looked back. I was living in a state of fight or flight back then and had been for awhile. I’d say, on a whole I spent at least 3 years living there. 

Yesterday I mentioned trauma + genetic susceptibility could trigger an autoimmune disease....I’m certain my years somewhere btwn ‘06-‘10 is when my celiacs got triggered.

This morning I read a news article ....there is no escaping it (the news) theses days...even my favorite TikTok accounts make fun of things in the daily news. 

The article talked specifically about parents (but it could really be anyone) becoming numb, as a way of coping to this new life of fight or flight that 2020 has brought with it. They’ve been in fight or flight long enough, asked to pivot daily, that this is the new way of coping. Sometimes (often) it includes drugs/ alcohol. 

The article talked about how some of this numbing could actually be helpful (minus drugs and alcohol) but it’s a slippery slope that can go downhill fast. 

Seeking therapy was strongly encouraged. 

You know I’m really big on health and wellness! I have been for years before my celiac diagnosis but there has never been a time to get more serious on your self care! 

Make time for yourself!!!!! 

Good nutrition that includes LOTs of plants! Fruits & veggies 😋
Getting 7 -8 hrs of sleep 
Praying/ Meditating 
Going for a walk - do any workout! 
Reading
Get on the phone or zoom and call your family & friends! Hear there voices! Laugh or cry out the emotions with each other! 

You deserve it! You are worth it!!!! My anxiety spiked this morning just reading this article! It’s because I have the ability to understand all too well, the toll that living in fight or flight can have on us!!! 

Developing a great self care routine is something that you take with you forward always!
💚
