No subways, no none of that.
I was like, wow, that would be an interesting experience for my kids and my two granddaughters walk to school, right?
It's like they just walk a couple blocks and they're at school and thinking, that would be a very different nervous system experience.
To be around so many other nervous systems regularly, and then by the time your child gets to school, their nervous system has had to meet a whole bunch of challenges.
And the challenges can change every day.
It's unpredictable.
You never know who's going to be on the subway.
And unpredictability is really challenging for our nervous systems.
So I can begin to understand what it must be like when your child gets to school.
And then when we think, oh, and then when you get to school, you then have to create connection with another group of nervous systems.
And we have a teacher or more than one, hopefully, but at least one adult who then has to try and navigate how is she or he the regulating influence for all of those nervous systems.
We begin to see the complexity of bringing our beings together in this way.
Yeah, if we look at the world through the lens of the nervous system, we are really being asked to be responsible for our state and then be responsible for what we're putting out into the world from that state.
And finding regulation, coming there and anchoring there is the goal, but it's very hard.
And what I love to tell people is that it's the micro-moments
That are what we need to start with.
It's not a great big, like, I'm going to stay regulated for the entire day today.
Nope, I'm not.
First of all, I'm not.
I can't.
