School holiday tears… There have been tears these school holidays – some from my children and some from me. In moments of overwhelming frustration, I have absconded to the bathroom to breathe out the tightness in my chest and shed some tears. It feels good to let it out, it creates some space to move forward and face whatever comes next. Stopping to really feel and acknowledge what emotions are present is a new way of being for me. I am more familiar with letting frustration grow into anger and then turning that on those around me. Avoiding emotions is a common pattern for many people – we just don’t want to deal with that mess! It takes too much – too much time, too much talking, too much listening, too much feeling! We just want to get on with life! Well, I’m learning that this IS life. This IS motherhood. There are joyous times and there are times the frustration and the sacrifice will bring you to tears. And maybe if we don’t truly feel the lows, we will never really feel the highs. Sending you love and comfort in your lows, Emma xxx
