Day 24: Safety

What does it mean to be safe? Physical safety, psychological safety?

And what are the different kinds of threats? Perceived threats, real threats, future threats?

And what does healthy encompass? I would argue physical health, emotional health, and mental health are facets of health of equal importance.

Safety can be a feeling. A feeling of ease, a feeling of belonging, a feeling of being home. And I believe that feeling safe is a prerequisite to being and maintaining good health.

Your environment, the weather, everything — all contributes to feelings of safety and your health. And when you’re gut sends a message to your brain, when your gut gives you that impulse that something is amiss, tune into it, listen to it, and do something about it.
