Good morning, beautiful souls! 💜 I'm checking in from a different place than I expected to be this Saturday morning. Last night instead of posting our evening reflection, I found myself in the emergency room - and I want to share what happened because I know some of you might relate. Yesterday I signed divorce papers. Now, I haven't seen my ex-husband in 8 years, so logically, this should have felt like just paperwork, 𝓻𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽? But my body had other plans. The combination of this emotional milestone, my 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗲𝘀, and navigating 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 created the perfect storm for a major anxiety attack that sent me straight to the ER. My body was telling me that even when our minds think we're "over" something, our nervous systems might still be processing. 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆'𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒅 (𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏): Sometimes self-care looks like bubble baths and face masks. And sometimes it looks like advocating for yourself in a hospital, recognizing when your body is overwhelmed, and asking for help when you need it. (I am positive my lawyer was not happy that I 🤮 in his car 😞) Real Self-Care Saturday looks like: 𝙃𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮'𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚 - even when it surprises you 𝘼𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 - from medical professionals, family, friends 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩 - your nervous system is doing important work 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 - whatever feels healing right now 𝘽𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 - especially during big life transitions ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Your Saturday invitation What does self-care look like for YOU today? Not what it "should" look like, but what your body, heart, and soul actually need right now. Maybe you're also navigating - Hormonal changes that affect your emotional responses - Old wounds that surprise you with their intensity - The need to rest after your body has been in survival mode - Simply breathing through whatever life has handed you 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤: How are you caring for yourself today?
