Take Time To Acknowledge How You Feel

Woke today with tension in my chest, feeling tender around my heart. Losses of beloved family and friends from late last winter heavy on my mind as we cycle back to the same time of year.

Thinking about my intentions for the day, I felt anxiety rising up, the bodily tension increasing. I couldn’t just charge forward with my to do list.

So I put aside for later whatever I could. Had a big cry, took a little walk, and spent a lot of my afternoon in my back yard listening to birds and breezes. I sipped coffee and colored outside, savoring today’s beautiful weather.

I feel better. I feel seen. I feel taken care of!

We don’t always have the opportunity to tend to our feelings so quickly, depending on the day, but I highly recommend we do our best to get to it!

Feel your feelings! Honor, acknowledge and love yourself! You are worth it!
