Yesterday I almost outran a feeling.
Thinking about my last child leaving home on a mission, a wave of grief hit—and I was halfway to “busy mode” when I caught myself.
I put a hand over my heart, breathed for ninety seconds, and let the sadness move through. No pep talk. No fixing. Just kindness. When the wave passed, I could finally think clearly.
This week’s episode/blog shows why reframes don’t stick when we skip the feeling—and how to feel first so your thought work actually works.
