An invitation to take a breath
|
Hi friend, When anxiety spikes, it can feel like you have to do something—send the text, fix the problem, make the decision, find relief right now. That sense of urgency can take over your whole body, pulling you into scramble mode before you even realize it’s happening. But here’s the truth: urgency doesn’t always mean danger. You can pause. You can breathe. You can give that wave of panic a little space instead of letting it run the show. 💨 Inhale. 💨 Exhale. Then ask yourself: “Am I trying to connect… or am I trying to calm my fear?” That question shifts everything. It brings awareness back into the moment and helps you choose your next move from a grounded place, not from panic. You don’t have to reach out in fear. You can stay connected and steady at the same time. You are safe to slow down. You are allowed to take your time. You are learning what calm connection feels like. With care, Jose 💛

I was the one struggling with their emotions. I’ve had to learn to sit with this kind of tension, and I wanted to share this because I think a lot of you are also learning this lesson...
Hi friend, If there’s one thing we can always count on, it’s change. It’s the one constant we all share. Yet, it’s the thing we often resist the most. And honestly? That resistance is exhausting. 😩 But here’s the truth: change is going to show up whether we invite it or not. So instead of bracing against it, what if this week you met change head-on? Think about everything you’ve already navigated. You've probably endured new jobs, moves, shifting friendships, relationships beginning and...
Hi friend, I don’t know about you, but I grew up believing that being an “understanding” person meant keeping my own feelings quiet so everyone else could stay comfortable. 🙊 Sound familiar? The thing is… feelings don’t disappear. They build. They bubble. And eventually, they spill over—usually in ways we don’t feel proud of. 🌋 Here’s the reframe I want to offer you this week: Naming your feelings isn’t selfish. It’s caring. It’s caring for you—your nervous system, your needs, your...
