3:30am thoughts….
Awake with heartburn from too much pizza, wondering if it’s a hot flush or a virus, existential dread about world wars - do I need a bunker? and of course closer to home a few very real family stressors 😬
Ah bless you 3am mind for you ability to lean heavily into the land of doom.
And with that observation, after all the misery and angst has been acknowledged, something else starts to emerge…
The importance of fun, one of my core values.
Moments of joy and irreverence that cut through the heaviness.
Even in the middle of very real pressure, there is almost always something human, funny, warm, or grounding… if we remember or are able to look for it.
Joy isn’t denial.
It’s regulation.
It’s resilience.
Its balance and it feels good 😍
Let’s see if I can hang onto this perspective for the day if sleep remains elusive… 🤞🤞🤞💕💕💕
