🔍 Find your feelings 🔎
|
When emotions run high, it’s easy to get swept up in racing thoughts or overwhelmed by everything at once. One powerful practice that can bring you back to center is simply pausing to notice what you’re feeling. Ask yourself: What am I feeling right now? And then, where am I feeling it? This gentle check-in helps your brain slow down, makes space to breathe, and gives you clarity about what’s really happening inside you. Sometimes you might not be able to name the exact emotion, and that’s okay. Instead, notice the physical sensations: Is your chest tight? Is your jaw clenched? Are your shoulders creeping up toward your ears? By noticing and naming what’s happening in your body, you give yourself a chance to shift from overwhelm into awareness. Try it the next time you feel caught up in the moment. You might be surprised by how much calmer and clearer you feel. Jose 💛

It gives...
"I get to be now" is my mantra lately, friends. Make it yours as well. This is what it's about:There was a time when so many of us had to hide parts of ourselves just to survive. We learned to shrink, to soften our voices, to tuck away the brightest parts of who we are so we could stay safe. But now—we get to be. We get to be seen. We get to be loud. We get to be tender, messy, awkward, joyful, complicated, fully ourselves. We no longer have to twist or change to fit into spaces that were...
It’s so common to be “go, go, go” all the time. You’re probably reading this email at work while you’re drinking coffee, having a snack, checking other emails, and in the middle of a project or two. I want to encourage you to slow down…especially after you finish a big project or accomplish a goal. I promise that taking a short break to reflect and to celebrate your accomplishment won’t slow down your momentum, it’ll increase it and bring more dopamine into your brain and positive energy into...
