Hi! How are you feeling today?
I heard that Elmo asked this question online and it got a really big reaction.
Why?
I think so many people have feelings that they don’t have space to share.
Maybe a little bit here, and there, but not all the time.
It turns out Elmo and I share a similar philosophy.
I want these emails to be fun
(in fact, I’m going to start calling them FunLetters!)
AND real emotions always have a place here.
Feelings are okay, even difficult ones.
When you feel heard and understood, it can instantly change your life —
so those parts of you need to be allowed to be here, as well.
Picture this: The worst moments of your life aren’t so bad anymore. And you didn’t have to spend all year changing your life.
There’s something that happens to ruin your day, it may not be new, but it’s at it again.
Whether it is out of your control, or you can’t even face dealing with it, yet, this time something is different.
Instead of feeling only the weight of it all on your shoulders, that you have to figure it out, you feel an additional presence —
it is another part of you, the wiser part, the part that has perspective, the part that is so above all of this.
It knows whatever happens:
- You matter.
- You are worthy of love.
- You can do this.
- You are special.
- Your feelings are reasonable and understandable
Now this is a safe space where you can cry,
you can rage,
you can feel anything,
and whatever you feel is totally accepted and held without judgement, and only love.
And when you are ready and not a moment before, your guide will lead you forward to the next thing you need to do to take care of yourself.
But you feel relief because now you are not feeling so alone, on your own, you against the world…and sometimes that solves 90% of the problem.
Because that’s when you remember that you are capable,
and that this situation doesn’t mean anything about you necessarily,
you are just a human.
A human who knows how to be her own best friend.
If you want help to stop feeling alone with your problems, and
have immediate access to the feeling of being supported even when no one can answer the phone —
Join us for the Be Your Own Best Friend Workshop workshop coming up Feb 14!
& check out the replay of my latest interview & article on the topic.
1. Interview: Having a Better Relationship with Myself
My Goal in 2023 was to Have a Better Relationship with Myself. Here’s How it Went.
I talked to Ginny Robertson in an interview about my goal last year to have a better relationship with myself–
and here is the replay!
This goal is so important to me as I grieve my father’s death.
It’s been two years, but there’s still grief and not enough support,
which is why it’s so important to be my own best friend. But it’s been so good I want everyone to hear about it.
Hear what I learned by making my relationship to myself my priority for a full year.
I talk about the two important key elements of this process needed to make a change happen:
