Money still reaches my nervous system before it reaches my planning brain

Dear Delyara, The body reacts first — tightens, narrows, flinches. Only afterward does the practical mind arrive. I don’t want finances to keep entering me as threat before they enter me as information. I know why this happens. That doesn’t stop it. I think when stress lives with you long enough, it stops being only a topic and becomes a reflex. And reflexes are harder to reason with than thoughts. Still, I want more space between number and fear. That is one of the changes I want most.
