This was really insightful today. I’ve been feeling a bit off this morning and was mostly just trying to ignore it. An email arrived asking me to check the weather, so I listened and followed along. When asked to think of a word I was immediately hit with something that gave me pause because I didn’t expect it. Giving myself the chance to allow the unwanted word and associated feelings time, it gave me a second to realize that this was the source of my feeling “off” today. I took a few minutes to breathe and contemplate how to go about adjusting my thinking to give myself relief. And, while it’s not magic and there are some lingering feelings there, overall I feel better now. Thanks :)
