My gratitude session for this month fell off the calendar! But I will be there. And I hope you will join me. I've added my recurring session to the calendar and the link is posted under the event. See you tonight at 5 pm EST!

Hey party people, We had a crew for last weeks live, and one of the same things came up today in our virtual session that I wanted to share here. It's a favorite nervous system reminder : an emotion doesn't need to be "fixed", it needs to be felt. Here's where it gets interesting - Neuroanatomist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor describes the initial physiological wave of an emotion as roughly 90 seconds when we allow ourselves to experience it without re-triggering the story or avoiding/pushing it back down. 90 Seconds...what?!? 🤯 The first thing I thought upon learning this was how many seconds, days, years, decades have I actually spent avoiding my feelings?! And if we learn to stay with them, they actually move out on their own and we can change our story? just, wow. So, there we have it. It's hard to sit with a heated emotion , so when I find myself there, I take a breath. Maybe I'll start with 5 seconds. Meet yourself where you're at and build slowly. It's really wild. Want to nerd out on the 90 second idea? Dr. Jill breaks it down here in this 3 min video. https://youtu.be/-qwIjbtUmaE?si=i9U_Bd8DMMHP6G2U
