Repair is our willingness to sit in our own discomfort of how our words, actions or behaviours might have impacted someone else. Not once, not twice, but possibly over and over again.
When a rupture happens in relationship, it shifts our sense of safety. We have to be willing to sit with the impact (hurt feelings, anger, disappointment, insecurity, pain) as it arrives in the relationship. We cannot expect that people are over it or demand that they move on after a rushed apology with no plan for change.
Acknowledgement of the hurt is important. Apologizing is important. And recognizing that acknowledge and apologizing does not erase the impact, is important.
If you find yourself saying things like “this again?” “You’re STILL not over that?” “Oh you always bring this up.” Get curious about what is going on for your person and your relationship. Get curious about why you might be uncomfortable with their pain.
That is where change happens 🫶🏽

A few tips for recovering during burnout:
1) NAME IT! It feels silly, but acknowledging where you are at and inviting a few key people into that is huge. Last week, I told my partner, my dad, sister, and bestie that I’ve been struggling. Honestly, those conversations were tough. But I feel like I can breathe a bit easier knowing that they know where I’m at.
2) remember going slow is still going. I tackled this desk area 15 minutes before a session started. It’s not perfect and neither am I! We’re aiming for manageable support.
3) lowering your “bar” of achievement. At first, you might not want to. But the reality is. We cannot hold ourselves to the same standard we normally do when we are struggling emotionally. This doesn’t have to be forever, just for now 💕 (this can be a very kind way of validating where you are at).
4) feel the sun on your skin as often as you can
5) pet all the dogs!

It’s so easy to push away and invalidate our own experiences, especially when we have been practising that for decades. A simple way I try to sit with pain is by repeating these two quotes and offering these same words to others when the only thing left to do is f e e l.

It’s okay to miss your mom and still not call on Mother’s Day.

I’ve been seeing advertising for Mother’s Day since March and just have avoided how quickly it’s approaching. I’m never sure what to do or how to be on Mother’s Day. Just here to remind you that it’s okay to do nothing, it’s okay to pretend it’s not happening and it’s definitely okay to not see anyone. You do what you need to do.

Grief is so weird. It’s different for all of us and yet it’s a universal experience that we will all have. Let’s normalize that grief is part of LIFE. And it’s okay to talk about grief and… the first 30 days, the first 6 months, the first death anniversary, the second, 5th, 10th. Let’s talk about our grief. How different would the world be if we could sit in pain together and know that it’s part of being human?!
