Writing "Atlas of the Heart" changed pretty much everything I thought I knew about the science of emotions. On the website this week I'm sharing 10 learnings that changed how I think about stress and overwhelm. Full references are included.

Overwhelmed by many things. Grateful for even more — including this community. If you're celebrating next week, Happy Thanksgiving!

In this life, every feeling is welcome. Every emotion, no matter how heavy, exists for a reason. Feelings are not mistakes; they are messengers, threads weaving us back to the core of who we are, revealing truths we may need to hear. When we honor them instead of turning away, we embody the ancient wisdom that it is in embracing, not resisting, our feelings that we find healing and meaning.

If you feel betrayed, worn out, or lost in these days, know that surrendering to what you feel is a powerful act of self-love. Place a hand on your heart, welcome your emotions, and breathe deeply through them. Imagine drawing calm and strength from the earth below, releasing any weight that is too heavy to carry alone. Even the earth knows the need to rest, to lie fallow, to renew. And so do you.

Release what feels too heavy so you can reconnect with a deeper sense that, even when it’s hard to see how, healing is possible. You don’t need to carry everything alone, and you don’t need to understand it all now. Trust, in whatever way feels right for you, that by honoring your sacred rhythm, you are bringing a form of healing to yourself and to the world around you.

I love these alternative statements.

When they say, "too quiet,"
I say, “Don't change, perceptive observer.
You're going to bring wisdom to the chaos.”

When they say, "too inquisitive,"
I say, “Don't change, great thinker.
You're going to bring answers to the toughest questions.”

When they say, "too energetic,"
I say, “Don't change, lively one.
You're going to bring joy and laughter to desperate times.”

When they say, "too sensitive,"
I say, “Don't change, deep feeler.
You're going to bring compassion to hurting souls.”

When they say, "too anxious,"
I say, “Don't change, fierce protector.
You're going to bring thoughtful deliberation to tricky situations.”

When they say, "too distracted,"
I say, “Don't change, awesome Noticer.
You're going to bring attention to the most important details of life.”

The most important thing I did as a special education teacher was reframe the negative labels that had been placed on my students, so they could see their perceived weaknesses as strengths – and with some nurturing, we were able to grow their inherent gifts and their belief in themselves.
