Here we are in June, Summer time where our social batteries (even those of us with the tism) get solar powered.

 

Like the radio, torch and charger I have in my backpack, ready for action if the zombie apocalypse arrives tomorrow.

Which brings me to the month’s side quest - which isn’t to prep for the apocalypse or to fight zombies, although I tell Mabel my four legged bestie when I leave her for circuit training that’s what I’m training for.

 

And bears. I tell her I’m staying strong to protect her from them too.

Back to the side quest which is based on how easily we can go to the zombie and bear type scenario in our head especially when things feel uncertain.

 

We can imagine threats and respond in our nervous system as if it’s real.

 

Movies banks on that human setting btw  - who else took a big breath in when Rose and Jack are pulled into the ocean?

 

The invite and side quest for June is to know that and play with ways when needed we can “Dial it down”.

 

Because what’s helpful when watching a box office smash is less useful at 3am on a work day.

 

See you next week with a few things that work.
