Aly, I love this so much! I appreciate the reminder to hold the weight of the emotion we're feeling without having to justify why we're feeling that emotion. And I'm so glad you showed up and shared this! :) Thank you for this helpful tip.
Thanks for reading and for your encouragement, Lisa! Yes, I like that word "justify," and it's so difficult for me to sit with the feeling with justifying or defending it. I am a person who is allowed to feel :)
I’m so glad to hear from you Aly! Just a few days ago I was thinking of you and hoping you’ve been alright as I know you were dealing with some tough health stuff a while ago.
I appreciate how this strategy could help me to remember to sit with the anxiety and let it move through me instead of trying to fix it. I get so caught up in what I’m anxious about that I forget to use my tools, and I could see this being a way for me to remember to pause. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Kelly! I have really missed connecting with this community. I’m hoping to share an update post at some point, but I was sick for a long time and then still so tired/catching up on life. I’m finally feeling better and hoping I can stay well enough to get back into a writing groove!
Yes, I think stopping at “that” can give us a chance to pause and sit with the anxiety and use our tools. I hope you’ve been doing well!
I’m glad you’ve been feeling better! Apart from chronic illness things, I have been well. Life feels like it’s just chugging along for the first time in a long time, and I’ve been enjoying that.
I’m glad to hear you’re doing well, Kelly! I know my sickness barely dips into chronic illness, but wow, I have been so humbled by my body’s limitations and am growing in empathy for those with chronic illness and varying capacities. I’ve experienced enough canceled plans and setbacks to know that “just chugging along” is no small thing. Hope the chugging can continue!
I love this piece so much! The way you explained it and made it visual makes it so accessible. So many can benefit from this! Simple in nature, but challenging to execute in the moment. Thank you for sharing!
This is such good advice! It’s easy for the feeling to become a rumination, an obsession with understanding why it’s happening that just fuels the fire.
This is SOLID. Thank you, Aly! Good for anyone who ruminates, especially during stressful times.
Thanks, Laura! I hope it helps!
I love this. Thank you!!
Can’t join this Sunday, but I’d love to in the future.

Yes! You are a person who is allowed to feel. 100%.

I love this! Now I have to do it!
The disclaimer is that this is much easier said than done! Our brains give us lots of opportunities to practice 🤪
Love this! I can get stuck in the why and this was so good.
