In this follow-up to Part 1, I’m sharing the next set of personal signs that showed me my nervous system was actually healing. From giving without guilt to finding joy in the tiniest moments, these shifts are proof that peace doesn’t always arrive with fireworks - it often sneaks in quietly.
I get real about what healing looks like, that it can be messy and human (and sometimes hilarious). Calm isn’t a destination - it’s a practice your body learns over time. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re making progress, this may just be the conversation you needed to hear.
