When was the last time you sat with your feelings?!

As we all stand at the threshold of wrapping yet another year, reflective and introspective are the two dominant moods that I find myself with, however, only to silently whispering to them that I will get back soon to this mind space. Turning inward and more so tuning inward takes time and there is a churning that I was not ready to embrace in my regular hustle of life.

However, I am glad that every morning on my drive to work, these feelings kept knocking at the doorway of my thinking process. And kudos to me, I was very cordial to them, greeted them, exchanged pleasantries, but, excused myself to run daily errands of life.

Was I able to conquer this feat?! No, these feelings were only added to the shopping cart, waiting for me to reach the check out page! Waiting for me to completely surrender to this mood in order to gain fresh perspectives.

As I write this, I promise myself that I will let all the feelings flow freely, I will sit with each one of them, address them, and to some of them give a nice, warm send off too. Who knows, I would understand myself better, evolve further, and love myself more. After all, beautiful vulnerabilities is the real treasure!

On a separate note, the title of this small write up was the guiding question in my today's lesson with the high schoolers :)

Here's to feeling the feelings and becoming resilient.
