Supporting Others Through Emotional Pain [A Summer of Encores]

My strong is healing in a way that feels right for
me.


We gotta stop telling people that they can choose to be happy
when they’re in the thick of a traumatic event because sometimes
CHOOSING happiness is not possible in that moment.


Though well intentioned, our words can be harmful when we’re not
sensitive to the emotional needs of those we’re trying to
support. 


Tap in to this week’s encore episode as we talk about how
important it is to hold space for others while allowing them to
time to heal from tramatic events in a way that feels right for
them.

Cultivate a daily practice of nurturing yourself with Nurture
Yourself Bingo
Nurturing yourself does not have to be difficult, but it does
need to be consistent, so why not make it fun. Nurture
Yourself Bingo is divided into five categories – one
category per card. Each category has twenty-four activities to
support you in a daily practice of nurturing yourself. All you
need to do to get started is print the cards, laminate them,
and start nurturing yourself.


Do one activity daily, marking a X in the squares as you go
until you get bingo. Once you get bingo, do something to
celebrate yourself. If you get bingo on more than one card at
the same time, up the celebration. Alternatively, you can work
on one card at a time and/or do more than one activity a day.
It’s your practice, do what feels right for you. Whatever you
decide, we’ve got FIVE CATEGORIES & 124
WAYS for you to do it.
