Riding the waves lately… can you relate? I have realized it isn’t necessarily the acknowledgement of two feelings occurring that’s difficult for me. For instance I can feel anxious about one thing + calm about another. Or I can feel totally supported but also extremely lonely at times. I think this is normal. But what Ive found to be the biggest source of my discomfort is the JUDGMENT + PRESSURE I place on myself to “pick” a feeling and own it forever. This is an area I am working on (and if you saw my stories yesterday, I shared more on this). Goal: more observation + space for fluidity. 🌊 🌊
We are innate meaning makers. We crave structure, routine, clarity + understanding. It helps us to feel safe + on solid ground. However when it comes to feelings, often interpretation + judgment can add more heaviness to the load I’m already carrying. Its incredible really, how I make so much room for my children to display a range of feelings, yet I limit myself in this way. I’m learning to sit back, breathe, and allow for more than one as they come, free of my desire to critique. It’s a beautiful part of the human experience, if we let it be. ✨
