I’m recording this episode now after coming off of a REAL rollercoaster of a day. Like…it was one of those days that I felt like I had absolutely nothing valuable to share, my crumbled confidence had me questioning entrepreneurship (and everything really), and so much more. I definitely needed an attitude adjustment, so I got outside for a walk. Walking is one of my favorite things – not only does it feel good for my physical and mental health, but I’m able to spend time listening to a podcast, music, or even catching up with my friends on Marco Polo.
In today’s episode, I want to talk more about what happens when it’s been a hard week, and our emotions are allll over the place. For me personally, I’ve been intentional about personal growth and healing for several years now, but my brain will still default to old patterns of negative thinking when I’m feeling burned out, or just plain sad. While I don’t want to stay stuck spiraling into these negative thoughts and beliefs, I’ve learned to get comfortable with them, acknowledge them, and move on. Feeling a full range of emotions is a GOOD thing – I’m constantly working on this with my kids, because crying and releasing pent up emotions is necessary!
It’s been one HECK of a month in my world, and I know these recent emotions were just a culmination of everything that’s been going on lately – it’s never just one thing. We go through these times that feel really hard (or even impossible) in the moment, but we can continue to build new habits, pursue vulnerability, ask for support where we need it, and ultimately, HEAL. It’s a beautiful and messy process, but gosh, it is so worth it too!
In this episode, POV: It’s Been a Hard Week and We Go to Coffee, we cover:
- Why walking is one of the most underrated tools that will totally improve your mental health
- Why your brain defaults to old, negative patterns at times, even after you’ve been on a personal growth and healing journey for awhile
- The importance of feeling a full range of emotions and letting them come out in healthy ways
- The endless possibilities that can happen when we let go of certain feelings and create space for new ones
- The rollercoaster of emotions that we experience when we are being intentional and trying new, uncomfortable things
