How are you all feeling today? Overwhelmed, stressed, feel like screaming or all of those and then some. Totally relatable and know that you are not alone.
Sometimes it feels like you are alone and the only one who feels this way and that no one feels the same way that you do. It may help to remember that you are not the only one feeling this way. There are so many of us, including me, who feel this way. I've for one want to scream so loudly!!!
Its too much for us to bear everything. The pandemic, home schooling, relationships, work and whatever else you have going on. Man life has been so hard lately.
So if you feel like your alone in your feelings, you are not. Yes, its true that the depth of your emotional experience is yours and only you know what it feels like to be in you. The experience is overwhelming but it may help you to know that there are so many of us in the same boat.
We are all in the boat weathering the storm with the huge waves and we are just trying to keep afloat. All of our experiences and emotions are different and we all have our own versions of stuff to deal with. So if you feel like screaming, you are not alone. I feel the same way too and I am sure that many others feel that way.
What I am learning to do is to recognize and remind myself that I am not alone. While I may not know you and you don't know me we are in this together. Don't feel alone and know that is okay to scream.
Right know I have a picture in my mind of standing on top of a cliff and screaming. Although I am sitting here, at home, in my little space or my timeout space as I like to call it, having that image is helpful.
Being well aware that the pandemic is just bringing up a lot that would have not surfaced is allowing us to find a way to deal with things. I know that my intentions to eat healthy this year is something that I have been trying for years but never stuck to it. Somehow, this pandemic had given me that sense of urgency that I need to eat healthy. That can bring up a lot of overwhelming feelings but it helps me to know that there are also many of you who feel this way about your goals.
We are not alone in our feelings. We are just not. I hope that if you feel alone in your feelings, look around or talk to others. Do you have a group or one friend that you can talk to? They will probably tell you how hard this pandemic has been on them too.
Its not just you, its all of us. We are all in the same boat.
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!
Peace,
Monita
