Like everyone, Iâve been navigating the emotions of watching whatâs unfolding around the world at the moment.
There is a weight that comes with witnessing this genocide, along with other injustices happening globallyâespecially when we feel helpless to stop it. Many of us are sharing the collective emotions of grief, anger and fear.
This has been a big theme in my client work recently. We are all trying to figure out:
đ How do I stay informed about what is going on in the world, without becoming overwhelmed?
đHow can I take action?
đ How do I balance taking actions on these larger issues, while navigating my own challenges?
đ How do I create space for myself to feel these emotions?
Of course there isnât one simple answer to these questions, and as with everything- how we need to go about meeting our needs is individual and changes regularly.
But the answer always starts with allowing ourselves a compassionate space to notice and validate what weâre feeling- and then go from there.
Thatâs where Iâve been. Noticing these emotions, taking actions when I can, setting a few boundaries with the constant media stream, and offering myself the compassion to drop a few things off my plate.
If youâve been navigating this too, you are not alone. And remember, your emotional brain isnât overreactingâitâs responding. Be gentle with yourselfđ
