Before the rush of checking your email, deadlines, and day-to-day responsibilities takes over, pause for a moment and ask yourself: "How do I feel today?"
It sounds simple, but this one question is a powerful act of courage. It is an invitation to honor your truth before the world makes demands on you.
When you ask, "How do I feel today?", you are not judging yourself; you are creating space to notice.
- Am I carrying stress or peace?
- Am I hopeful or heavy-hearted?
- Do I need connection or quiet?
By connecting to someone you trust. Someone who can hold space for you without judgment. It could be a quick phone call, a heartfelt conversation, or even a simple text that says, "I need to hear your voice." True connection restores us because it reminds us we do not have to carry everything alone.
Quiet, on the other hand, is choosing "me time." It is not isolation; it is intentional space to recharge. Quiet might look like resting, taking a walk, journaling, listening to your favorite music or simply sitting still. Quiet helps us listen to ourselves and find clarity in the calm.
Both connection and quiet are powerful. One fills us through trusted relationships, and the other fills us from within.
Your feelings are signals. They point to what you may need to restore balance, protect your peace, nurture your passion, or step forward with purpose.
Let me answer my own question: Today, I feel tired, but steady. My energy is not at its peak, but I am in control of how I use it today. That means I am focusing on what is essential that needs to be done today, and the rest can wait.
When you honor how you feel, you reclaim your power. From that place of truth, you can move with clarity, compassion, and courage.
