To the one who's entire being is screaming: I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS
I know you might be raging, love.
I know you might be raging, love.
Or you may have totally shut down because everything feels hopeless, and it just feels like you're sobbing internally all day long.
Or maybe you're on a pendulum swing from one of those to the other and back again.
And no matter where you are on the spectrum of emotions, one thing is clear:
YOU DID NOT CONSENT TO THE WORLD CHANGING THIS WAY.
And it's creating major internal agitation.
But, and I say this with so much understanding & compassion...
This is what's happening. This is reality.
No matter how much you thrash against reality, it won't change.
You can either adjust, and take action accordingly.
Or you can stay thrashing and have more of this experience.
If you'd like to adjust, but have no idea where to start, begin with this exercise below.
1) Put on a song that you love
2) Sit or lay on the floor and just let your body move the way it wants to
3) Do nothing else for 90 seconds (leave your phone somewhere you can't see or hear it)
Then... take a breath. Go for a walk. Re-center.
Come back to your life with a fresher perspective, and keep going.
