Don’t rush the process. 🍃🩷

This week has been a lot mentally. Wednesday night I didn’t sleep until 4.30, my busy brain trying to process all the things it was holding… And I haven’t had my fresh air and movement medicine quota, with appointments for my daughter instead, plus her being off with overwhelm/low spoons. The rest did her good and she’s coped with the rest of the week because of it! So this morning the husband and I drifted about a lake and tried to bubble off some living in the moment time. He schedules in days off for simple things these days, and I don’t work Fridays, so we booked on this morning and loved it! Some fresh air, water, movement and connection. Bliss! I did aqua aerobics this afternoon and I think I just landed in my body for the first time this week! Wellbeing days are so important when you’re keeping your head above water in a world too fast for our sensitive systems X

Healing isn’t a single release.
It’s a thousand small surrenders — over time, in layers, and with grace.
Letting go again doesn’t mean you failed. It means you’re still healing.

Many of us grew up in homes where emotions were treated like something to fix, silence, or fear.
“Stop crying.”
“You’re being ridiculous.”
“You have nothing to be upset about.”

It wasn’t our emotions that scared the adults around us — it was our reaction to them.
So we learned to shrink. To hide what we felt. To believe that being emotional meant being too much.

But feelings don’t disappear just because they’re ignored. They wait — and they resurface later as stress, anxiety, or the deep sense that we can’t trust what we feel.

If we want to do better — for ourselves and our children — we have to unlearn that fear.
We have to remember that emotions aren’t the enemy. They’re messengers.

Our children don’t need us to make their big feelings disappear.
They need us to help them make sense of them.

That starts with co-regulation — meeting their chaos with calm, their tears with presence, their fear with safety.

Sit with them through the wave.
Name what’s happening.
Hold them if they reach for you.
And wait.

The calm will return — more quickly, more deeply — when their feelings are met, not managed.

Later, when the storm has passed, you can talk about it — to understand what they were really trying to say, once they’re calm enough to find the words.

But first, we have to let them have all of their emotions.

Because the goal isn’t to stop them from feeling.
It’s to raise children who don’t have to heal from being human. ❤️
