Levels

Our first week into 2022! There is already a lot going on. Macro and micro forces may leave a lot of raw emotions.

As we process, a good reminder to sit with our feelings further. Most likely, there is a second-order thought beyond a first-order thought — if we give it enough time and space.

Are you angry? Or actually hurt?

Are you sad? Or actually lonely?

Are you scared? Or actually overwhelmed?

Don't believe everything you (first) think. Try out the Feeling Wheel to identify, and lean on your loved ones + therapist for help.

And as you climb the ladder into your soul, there may be a new level.
