Thereās something about the full moon⦠š
It illuminates whatās been sitting beneath the surfaceāwhat weāve been avoiding, pushing down, or just too busy to notice.
The past few weeks for me have felt⦠intense. Emotional. A little chaotic. And if Iām being honest, I didnāt fully slow down to check in with myselfāI just kept going.
And I think a lot of us do that.
Especially in recovery, or just in life in general⦠we get used to managing how we feel instead of actually sitting with it. We assume āthis is just how I feelā and push through.
Until our body starts speaking louder.
Anxiety. Tension. Getting sick. Feeling off. Disconnected.
And itās not punishment⦠itās communication.
Itās our body saying:
āHey⦠can you come back to me?ā
Last night I took a moment to pause, reflect, and release what hasnāt been aligned with who Iām becoming. Not perfectly. Not in some big, elaborate way. Just honestly.
And today, Iām sitting with this:
What if we didnāt wait until we were overwhelmed to check in with ourselves?
What if we started showing up for ourselves before we hit burnout⦠before we spiral⦠before our body has to scream to get our attention?
What if we were a little more gentle⦠a little more aware⦠a little more present?
Because the truth isā
we are worth checking in on.
We are worth caring for.
And if weāre constantly running on empty, we canāt truly be there for anyone else either.
The day after a full moon feels like a quiet space to reflectā¦
So Iāll ask you this:
⨠What has been coming up for you lately?
⨠Where might you be pushing through instead of tuning in?
⨠What is your body trying to tell you right now?
⨠What are you ready to release⦠and what are you ready to choose instead?
Iām choosing to come back to myself.
Again and again. š¤
