It can be an awkward time when I'm feeling down and low,

Yet I know I'm feeling worse than the situation actually is.

Unpacking this takes a lot of energy.

I ask myself,

Do I want to go there?

Do I want to turn and focus on why I'm feeling worse than it is?

What fears are driving this?

What worry is taking over?

And how can I safely release this?

I turn my eyes to the bigger picture.

I point my mind to messages that support me.

I move my body to adjust my emotional state.

I reflect on how I can help myself.

I choose the form of self-help that fits right now.

I befriend myself.

I make gestures of self-compassion.

I take my time as I turn the corner to reducing stress,

To helping myself mentally,

And to simply feeling better.

I let the feelings speak,

And I speak to the feelings.

I'm caring for my emotions.

I'm hearing them out instead of pushing them away.

I draw strength from my support system.

I give myself breaks from the emotional heavy lifting.

When I'm feeling worse than what's happening,

I make sure I get the feelings out,

I bring them to light,

And I release them into the sunset.
