Holding Yourself Through It All

We've been having a lot of big afternoon thunderstorms lately.

As I watch them, I’ve been reflecting on my own ability

to weather the storms of my life.

In my last post, I wrote about how learning to love myself

has expanded my capacity to feel my feelings more deeply.

I’m also noticing that when big feelings arise now,

not only am I grateful for the capacity to feel them,

but I’m also grateful for the ability to stay present with myself in them…

and hold myself through them.

And somehow that’s striking me as even more meaningful.

✨ Self-Love gives you the inner strength

to hold yourself through everything you feel.

When the difficult emotions show up,

we can hold ourselves and gently reassure ourselves:

I'm willing to feel this.

I'm grateful I can fully feel this.

And no matter what, I've got me.

I’m right here.

Having people in our lives who love and support us is an incredible gift.

And we can deeply appreciate our friends, families, and partners.

But when you learn to love yourself

you become empowered in the knowing

that no matter what life brings,

you will always be able to rely on yourself.

You can hold yourself safely.

You can stay grounded through the storm.

You can trust yourself to take care of your needs.

We develop an unshakeable inner sense of stability

when we know we’ll never abandon ourselves.

And that inner stability gives us the courage to be fully alive.

We can live our lives and be fully present for them

~ no matter what we’re experiencing ~

instead of letting fear keep us from fully living.

No matter what storms may come,

you can love and hold yourself through them.

💗 Holding Yourself

I invite you to wrap your arms around yourself in a loving embrace,

and take an intentional deep breath in.

As you slowly release it, let yourself soften into your own arms.

Then gently whisper to yourself:

"I've got you. No matter what."
