Give yourself a break.
I was so hard on myself for not seizing the privilege of having this time at home, for not mobilizing to start the new project I’ve been putting off, creating art, learning spanish, organizing my house. Social media is so loud right now with “do this, do that” messaging and I took a giant step back to remind myself I am just one human being processing it all and doing the best I can.
When I gave myself this space, I realized I was actually heartbroken over this unbelievable situation and how wildly unrealistic it was to expect action or invention of any kind from myself at a time like this.
Then, I swamped. And amidst all the heartache, I came back to myself. I am someone who has grief AND can still feel alive.
I want to help if these words resonate. If you’re feeling lost in your sense of self at the moment or feeling a global heaviness, disappointed, sad or pissed off, I’ll show you my favorite tool for relating to grief so you can reconnect to yourself.
Swamping is for you if you're feeling a heavy heart, major disappointment, grief and stuckness during these uncertain times. If you are bottling in a temper tantrum or resisting the urge to sucker punch something.
Swamping is a tool for dealing with fear, sadness, anger, and how to release it all safely. It’s how I transmute my grief into fuel for energy, joy, love and sensuality.
Why do we call it a Swamp? Because a swamp is where muddy, murky, stuck energy thrives! It’s a place where all your emotions are welcome - especially the difficult ones.
