Sometimes we feel sad and we know exactly why we feel it. Sometimes we feel it and have absolutely no idea. This can be tricky. It can make us feel like there is something wrong with us. We can fall into the trap of judging ourselves for our feelings instead of being curious.

What you need to know is that all your feelings are valid. All your feelings are temporary. This too will pass. The real trick is to learn to sit with it. To almost make friends with the sadness and treat it like you would the most precious friend you could ever have. Let it be. No rushing to get rid of it or judging yourself for your reactions to the sadness. Tears are not only normal, but they are also very healing. They are the body’s way of helping you get back to better… if you need to cry, don’t hold it in. There are obviously some difficulties around where and to who we show our emotions to, right? I tend to try and encourage the ability to learn who you can trust your emotions to… who will be that person who will listen, stay out of judgement, hold that space for you so you feel almost like you are the only person that matters to them in the whole world in that moment. This is healing in itself ,for all of us. To be truly heard.
