This is it. This is everything I'm trying to explain, to share, to impart, to become through my garden practice with everyone. Thanks for sharing this, Matt. Really helps me keep going, and keep sharing what I've learned. I always appreciate your open honesty.
This was such a beautiful piece! I have seen lots of discussions online about 'healing the nervous system' within the wellness space. I didn't quite get the hype but after reading this — couldn't agree more. The world could greatly benefit from people just learning to love themselves more, and more gently.
Thank you so much Matt for touching on this topic. It all starts within. Dr Martha Beck calls this KIST : kind internal self talk. If we can be compassionate toward ourself, then it should be easier to demonstrate compassion towards others. Some speak of resonance, others of energy fields that transmit whatever our nervous system is wired to feel. That's why compassionate self talk is beneficial. Not only for our mental, emotional and physical health but for the greatest good of the whole.

Love this!
And hope you loved the Azores as much as I did (Sao Miguel island)!
Thanks Nuno! Yeah it was stunning :)
