feeling your feelings
The more I exercise “feeling my feelings” in this way, the more space and flexibility, safety and trust I can find within myself. The deeper I can exhale.

keeping grounded when things get stormy
I wonder: what things or which people keep you grounded when things get stormy? Is it a tree in your neighborhood that offers you shade and silence? Is it a flower whose color sings to you? Is it a friend or lover you can call or text at a moment’s notice or who gives you the space you need? A hot herbal tisane that soothes you? A song you have on repeat while you shower? A bite of chocolate cake? A moment to scream?
