Honor the emotions

I’ve found these last few weeks to be quite emotional.

Some moments up.
Some moments down.
A lot of moments in between.

I’ve learned and continue to re-learn that when emotions come to visit me, they bring very helpful information about what my body is sensing needs awareness or attention in my life.

If I rush through my emotions in an effort to stay “on track,” I can easily bypass the inner wisdom that is advising me on the very route I’m taking.

And so, I’m learning to pause.
To listen in.
To reconnect.
To remember that it’s okay to just be.

Within that space, I find:
🔑 My sadness illuminates where I need more time to process and honor what was.
🔑 My anger invites me to examine and re-establish my correct boundaries.
🔑 My worry invites me to see where I want to take hold of (or release) responsibility.
🔑 My joy invites me to savor what is here now.

Within that space, I find:
🔑🔓 My “I don’t know” unfolds into the knowing that was always there waiting to be heard.
🔑🔓 My path comes into focus.
🔑🔓 I can return to my choice and agency.

If this season has been emotional for you, I invite you to join me in taking space to honor your experience.

What you feel is valid and of incredible value, AND, it need not be what defines you.

When we allow our emotions to be heard, to share their message, they can move through us knowing they have served their purpose.

The ups, downs, and in-betweens are part of the flow of life, and our emotions are here to remind us of how alive we truly are.
