Compartmentalizing big feelings is ok!…

Sometimes compartmentalizing can help you effectively tackle challenges without becoming overwhelmed. 

It’s a way of telling big, flooding feelings like grief, anxiety, or even anger that you’re too busy to feel them right now, and you’re going to feel them later.

Well, that’s just cool. I’ve worked with numerous therapists, life coaches, energy work practitioners and group therapy leaders over quite a stretch of time, but I’ve never heard this tip. This year’s been a grind with my mother’s passing last August and the overall challenging landscape we’re all enduring (the various post pandemic fall outs, the wars, climate change, companies wanting more with less during quite a frightening financial time). It makes me feel better knowing I can put off some of the grieving, anger and anxiety, so I can get through the day. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO

Blessings,
