The 2-step reset for any heavy emotion
|
Reader, You know those moments when an emotion hits hard: grief, anger, anxiety, sadness...and your first instinct is either to shove it down or let it consume you? Neither one really gives us the freedom we’re looking for. Instead of fighting your emotions or getting swallowed by them, try this check-in: Step 1: Ask yourself: Am I willing to accept this? Step 2: Ask yourself: Am I willing to let it go? Why? Because this gentle side-to-side movement (what’s called bilateral stimulation) activates both hemispheres of your brain. It helps your nervous system process the feeling more effectively, kind of like your mind’s way of filing the emotion instead of leaving it scattered across the floor. Instead of looping in the same emotional cycle, your body gets the signal that it’s safe to integrate and release. ✨ Acceptance is the doorway. So the next time something heavy comes up, give it a try. You don’t have to wrestle your emotions. You can walk with them, honor them, and then let them move through you. With you in the messy & the magic, |

The kind where you can show up without performing, without holding it all together, and without feeling like you need to be anything other than who you are in that moment. Because yes, you can learn Tapping (EFT) for free on YouTube....
Reader, 10 out of 10 recommend not waiting to do the things you want to do just because you’re afraid you won’t have anyone to do them with. Weekssss ago I knew I wanted to see "Wuthering Heights", and I wanted to see it when I wanted to see it. I didn’t want to plan around anyone else. I just wanted a day to myself and didn’t care how that might look to anyone on the outside. When I went to grab a ticket, I noticed something that made me laugh. Almost every seat that had been chosen was a...
Good morning, Reader When I realized that I’m entire personality was almost entirely made up of old programming/beliefs or a response to ADHD/CPTSD, I decided to make a pact with myself: Do one thing a day that you’ve been avoiding. Something. Every damn say. (Cuz I refuse to defined by some g*ddamn alphabet diagnosis.) Yesterday I was in a funnnnnk. I’ve been working since I was 15 (I’m going to be 34 in June), so NOT working is triggering AF. It’s forcing me to look at a whole bunch of sh*t...
