Ever since the things I thought were steady in my life broke down, Ive been starting my day with meditation.

Honestly, these days, Ive been finding myself meditating at least 2-3x a day.

Sometimes to help me get in touch with the best case scenario of the path Im currently walking.

But most of the time, to help me remove the unhelpful labels Ive put to “judge” the moment that’s in front of me.

Clearing my head, observing my thoughts, finding joy/peace, or even just learning to be “blank” about it have never been more useful than now.

But also giving space to allow the grief to flow through the body so it can exit and be let go of (but still without the labels) is equally important.

Ive always known myself to be a strong person. “I can handle this”, my default state.

But these days, even Im impressed with myself. There have been moments wherein I felt like “nope, my mistake. I cant handle this.” Yet i handled it anyway.

If you’re in the thick of something too and feel like you “cant handle it”… you can. I promise.

Release the thoughts that tell you, “you cant”.

Just sit with yourself.

And before you know it, the moment has passed. And you actually handled it.

Not all handling comes with a solution. It can also sometimes look like just being in the moment and celebrating that you didnt crumble.

Find the quiet space in yourself and sit there. Or create space by releasing things so you can find somewhere in you to sit.
