💔Just because you’re an adult, doesn’t mean you can’t be flooded with emotions.
👉🏻Just because the world isn’t ‘crashing down’ around you, doesn’t mean you don’t have legitimate reasons to feel sad, stressed, or worried. You don’t need to be going through a crisis or something ‘major’ to have a melt down. .......................................... ✌🏻You’re human. ✌🏻I’m human. Sometimes emotions are simply overwhelming. Go to a safe space, 🚫STOP🚫 distracting yourself with your phone, Netflix, or your To-Do list and LET THAT SHIT OUT. 😭 ........................................... Cry into your pillow. Sneak away to your car. Hide in the bathroom for a minute. Stop bottling yourself up and containing yourself. ....................................... YOU ARE ALLOWED TO FEEL WHATEVER IT IS YOU ARE FEELING. ......................................... And honestly, if you stop running from it, and let yourself actually experience it, you’ll probably feel better, or *at least* feel a little more clarity around the emotions bubbling up. Clarity is powerful, and at least with clarity you can start making some choices that will help point you in the direction of your joy and away from your pain. .......................................... When you allow yourself to really FEEL your pain, what images are popping up in your head? Who or what are you picturing? Is it something causing you anxiety about the future or something from the past you are struggling to let go of? Try to really grasp on to the images and words going through your head. Let it play out so you can understand what is trying to Break Free. ........................................... --So what is causing your pain? Is it stress? What kind? Work? Family? Obligations? --Has there been a sad event in your life? What was it? A death? A bankruptcy? A friendship that ended? --Do you need support? What kind? Who can you reach out to for help? A friend or family member? A therapist? A coach? ........................................... It’s more than ok to feel your emotions, you should. But if at all possible, try to figure out what small steps you can start taking to heal your pain. Who do you need to talk to? What makes you TRULY feel better (not just drinking a bottle of wine or binge watching GOT), what TRULY MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER? ...................................... Maybe it’s going for a walk. Maybe it’s talking to your best friend, spouse, or therapist. Maybe it’s meditating. Maybe it’s making a list of the goals you’ve been putting off and starting to go for it. Maybe it’s blogging. Maybe it’s losing yourself in cooking a delicious meal. Maybe it’s reading about mindset or relationships or depression. ............................................. Emotions pop up to show us how on (or off) track we are. So if you are feeling low, like I was today, take time to listen to yourself and find out why. You have a right to be sad, but you also DESERVE to be supremely happy. And if you need to talk, I’m here....I’d love to listen. And if I can, I’d love to help. No matter what you may be feeling, you are NOT alone. ❤️
