“We can respond to Jewish anxiety triggers with deeper awareness of our choices about how to respond. We can resource ourselves with different strategies and better alternatives to the previous habits that amplified and increased our anxiety. We can recognize how the past haunts the present and still choose to nourish ourselves through pausing to breathe, re-center our bodies, and discern our response. We can grow our awareness, curiosity, compassion, and courage. And: We can also step into more power, more compassion, and more kindfulness, without catastrophizing, contracting, or collapsing into fear.
“This is our braided challah of tikkun atzmi and tikkun olam — healing ourselves and harnessing our insights and energy to heal the world.”
