Dear Reader
Whether it is in your work, sport, activities at home, as a partner, friend, or a parent there are times when you will experience EMOTIONAL POPPING (yes it feels loud and explosive).
Where you...
And all you want to do is run, quit, get out of there, and even hide under the blankets.
Then it happens - you emotionally and energetically pop!
The pop can be tears, a tantrum, a download, a yell, slamming a few doors, storming off, or even beating yourself up.
You battled yourself.
You fought the fight of your expectations that you should be able to handle it, be all over it, be on top of it, be organized, and more.
You fought the fight of judging and rejecting yourself for believing you are not meeting your expectations, not handling them, and that you are not good enough.
You fought the fight of judging and rejecting yourself in comparing yourself to others and how they handle things or how you have been in the past in similar situations.
You fought the fight of your expectations that you should not have expectations and should not be judging yourself.
You fought the fight of your emotional neediness to be of value and worth by having it handled and having it sorted.
You fought the fight of your emotional neediness for reassurance from someone or the universe that you are ok and are good enough.
Then you fought the fight of your emotional neediness for safety and security in not wanting to feel vulnerable anymore and wanting to run away.
Maybe you did run, but I bet you came back.
Maybe you stayed and emotionally popped and pushed through to the other side.
You emotionally popped! You felt the emotion and energy that was brewing with you, controlling your thoughts, body, energy, and emotions, where it built in intensity until it popped.
Where it surfaced to be released so you could pop through to the other side.
And you know from experience, that on the other side of an emotional pop is clarity, creativity, ideas, flowing energy, movement, and growth.
The popping clears out residue past processing that has been influencing you. It clears the way for your soul to provide you with the information about the next steps you are to take in your growth and in what you are doing.
It takes strength, trust, and belief in yourself to go through the process of emotional popping and coming out the other side. Acknowledge yourself for doing so.
Embrace emotional popping as an amazing powerful process for your growth.
After you have emotionally popped, take time to apologize to the parts of you, you rejected and were hard on.
You deserve more kindness, acceptance, and trust from yourself. This is what you are growing within you by pushing through after an emotional pop.
Remind yourself when you are feeling what you are before the pop happens - when you want to run, want to quit, and want to give up - out of the chaos will come clarity, direction, strength, growth, and calm.

Your processing prompt provides an opportunity for you to delve into self-reflection and uncover more about yourself Dear Reader Are you more comfortable dealing with emotional pain or physical pain, both or neither? For me, I will take emotional pain over physical pain, any day. When I experience emotions I know I can work through them, because I understand why they are there, what I am experiencing, and what is required to work with them and heal them. It is a pain that I am familiar with...
Your monthly processing prompt, an opportunity for you to reflect on your processing for the purpose of exploring more of you. Dear Reader Over-responsibility has been a theme and a focus for me for a few months now. The reason being, is my mum is one of the remaining people in my life where I have still held a lot of emotion around holding responsibility for her physical and emotional well being. The beauty is I have had many opportunities to change the patterns I conditioned myself with,...
Your monthly processing prompt, an opportunity for you to reflect on your processing for the purpose of exploring more of you. Dear Reader How many times during a week do you experience things not going the way you want or expect them to? And you find yourself fighting what is happening to you? Fighting the process that is unfolding. Resisting it, pushing back on it, pushing it, and trying to make something else happen. You make what is going on wrong. Even getting frustrated, impatient and...
