Stress is rarely from one source - it builds from many places until finally, there is a breaking point. When we learn the whole process of how this happens, we can learn to be gentler and kinder to ourselves, sooner.

Bad stuff is happening in the world. We all know and see it. Let yourself feel exactly as you are. Only when we hold space for our feelings can we accept them and begin to process them...eventually making way for hope.

Sometimes, you've done everything you can and it is still not enough. When this happens, it helps to give ourselves the gift of acceptance, instead of self-criticism and judgement.

In life, we're always pushed to go faster - so give yourself permission to pause and breathe.

Anger is more than just an emotion - it's an experience that sheds light on how we process emotion and what we can do to shift our lives in a more positive direction.
