Support and Love is Key…
Not only are these great to use with a special kiddo in your life, they work with adults, too. The take away here is not to minimize or try to make it go away quickly. Support and love is key.
Failure
It’s so easy to get down on ourselves when we feel we have failed, but that is just a moment in our lives, not who we are.

It is imperative that we pay attention to all in which we surround ourselves. It all matters. Be mindful of how it makes you feel and if there are opportunities for more uplifting or healthy things in your life (or if you need a break from the news).
Rest
I feel certain there are times we each feel a weariness that’s sleep won’t fix. I invite you to try one or all of these options below. Find ways to rest and restore and give yourself permission to be “unproductive” and take care of yourself.

When you think about “being there for someone” consider “holding space” for them. We aren’t tying to fix, say the right words, judge....any of those things....just show up, open your arms if they need them and just hold the space for them. Sometimes it is hard to turn that part of our brain off, but it is so powerful and helpful when we do.

I’m sure we are all guilty of this....if we slow down and let things sink in before we respond.....perhaps with a follow question instead of our point of view, we will all feel more heard.

Empathy is not Sympathy
First, let’s remember that empathy is NOT sympathy. Empathy is looking at someone’s situation and understanding how they got there whether you agree with it or not. Then you put yourself in their shoes and imagine what it feels like....
I think it is easy to end up in the weeds sometimes in relationships and situations because we look at things only from our view point and only from our experiences. We lose so much richness in our connections and understanding when we do that. I invite us all to slow down this week and listen without forming our response in our heads while the other person speaks, empathize, then respond.

All of These Feelings…
All of these feelings that don’t feel so good aren’t bad.....we just have to listen to them, sit with them, acknowledge them, and see what they are telling us. Our hearts know so much, we just have to turn the noise off and listen. ?
