In today’s episode, I’m sharing how I’ve been processing the past few weeks. Emotions are all over the place so I’m relying on the tried and true tools as well as some new ones to help me get back to center. (I’m still unsure where that is these days.)

When emotions run high, we often reach for things to numb out, help push them down, or “just get through”. I did that for years, and it never made me feel better. It only delayed the inevitable tidal wave of feelings that were irrelevant to time and place.

I’m sharing a few things that are working for me and I hope they’ll be helpful for you as well. Finding our way back to center is vital to our emotional well-being but allowing ourselves (and others) to “be in our feelings” is also important.

You’re never alone in how you feel and having people in your life who listen and support you in hard times is life-saving.
