Who or what helped hold you up this week — even in small, ordinary ways?

02/16/2026

Notice your breath — not to fix it, just to meet it.

👉 Practice: Silently name it: shallow, deep, rushed, slow. Curiosity only.

What moment this week made you quietly proud — even if no one else noticed?

Dreams have shaped my personal growth more than I realized at the time—especially in my 20s and 30s.

What I’ve learned (through years of personal practice and leading dream groups) is that interpretation isn’t about getting symbols “right.” It’s about listening to how the dream felt—during it, and after waking.

A dream can be chaotic yet leave you clear.
Gentle yet leave you grieving.

That contrast is often the doorway.

I wrote about how I approach dreamwork, including questions I return to again and again when dreams feel like they’re trying to get our attention.

And yes… I’m also quietly imagining what it might be like to bring dream groups back—spaces for listening, creativity, and real-life integration. No promises yet. Just noticing what’s stirring.

Dreamwork and dream interpretation help you explore your subconscious through emotion, symbolism, and self-reflection.

Your body already knows what this week requires — before your brain gets involved.

👉 Practice: Take 3 slow breaths and place a hand where your body feels most honest right now.

What did you show up for this week even though part of you wanted to disappear, delay, or stay quiet?

That counts. Big time.

What do you require before you let yourself be happy?

For many of us, happiness is conditional: after the dishes, after the problem is solved, after everyone else is okay, after we’ve done enough, grown enough, tried hard enough.

Some of those conditions are kind of ridiculous. Others feel deeply justified. And still—when we look closely—we may notice how attached we are to the struggle itself. Not because we enjoy suffering, but because it gives our nervous systems something to organize around.

Happiness can feel oddly unstructured. Even unsafe.

This reflection isn’t about forcing positivity or letting go of what matters. It’s about noticing what we’ve been holding as necessary before we allow ourselves to be okay.

I wrote more about this here: https://www.innereyelifecoaching.com/have-you-made-okayness-happiness-conditional/

Making happiness conditional can delay your joy. Notice the subtle conditions holding you back and try softening one today.

Celebrating Small Wins:

Post one “tiny victory” from the week.

01/27/2026

Over my break, something small and unexpected happened.

Laughter came back.

Not the polite kind. Not the “I should be happier” kind.

Real, spontaneous belly laughter—showing up at odd moments, without effort.

There have been seasons in my life when laughter wasn’t possible. Not because something was wrong with me—but because my nervous system was overwhelmed and doing its job: conserving energy, narrowing focus, protecting me.

Laughter isn’t a mindset.
It’s a nervous system state.

And it returns when safety, connection, and play have enough space to exist again.

If laughter feels far away right now, this isn’t a failure. It’s information.

I wrote about why laughter disappears under stress—and how it gently finds its way back when we stop chasing joy and start tending the nervous system instead.

Eye Contact Connection:

Pause and look a loved one in the eyes for 5 seconds (only for use if this is non-threatening to your nervous systems)! If eye contact is hard, try joining a special interest they are engaged in!

Gratitude for Rest:

Appreciate one moment of rest, even if it was 5 minutes taxiing kids.
