This recording is intended for anyone who's in a place of SOS,
Riding the struggle bus a little bit.
My significant other calls it the suck,
Or a storm,
Or a valley.
If you're in the spot,
You know what it is.
So quick lesson for you.
Super simple bite-sized piece,
Because I know it's a miracle that you're even listening to this right now.
Here's some permission for you.
It's okay to be messy,
Right?
It's okay to get messy,
To fall apart,
To feel like a blob of nothingness on the kitchen floor.
Where nothing makes sense,
And your skin feels tight,
And you are certain that the missing oven mitt is the worst thing that's happened to anyone ever.
It's okay.
I mean,
I once had a full meltdown because I saw a Yorkie and he was smiling,
And I just said,
I'll never know that joy.
And I wept for three hours.
Sometimes we gotta let it out.
Sometimes we break down or melt down and get messy,
And that's okay.
So it's okay,
You know,
If you don't shower today.
Though you'll feel and likely smell better if you do,
But it's okay if you don't.
And it's fine if you merely exist under your weighted blanket in pajamas that smell of stale farts.
You are a champion for surviving times like this.
Seriously,
Please realize that.
It's a big deal that you deal with this type of pain and you're still here and you're still fighting and you're listening to this meditation right now.
So give yourself a break and allow yourself space to be however you are right now.
Stop trying to fight it.
Stop trying to change how you feel.
Just be there now and know that it's okay and it will pass.
It'll lift.
You know,
The storm will lift.
The valley will end.
But for now just breathe and give yourself a break.
