update on my day

Sometimes you have to just let the sadness hit rather than distracting, moving on, or just getting over it. Avoidance or positive toxicity doesn’t work. For example, if you have a beach ball and you push it under water it stays down for like a second and that’s basically what we’re trained to do is push it down. But, naturally when you push it down it pops back up it doesn’t stay there, because the situation at hand is still there. You acknowledge and validate your emotions and experiences. Show yourself compassion the same compassion you’d show a friend who’s suffering and process your grief. There’s no such thing as getting over it. It’s more about adjusting to change and loss. It’s human to feel hurt and pain. So, feel it, process it, understand it, nurture it so you can properly heal like you would a physical wound. If you continue to distract yourself and avoid the pain it’ll never go away. Don’t put the expectation on yourself of being good and happy all the time.
