Well, good morning, my baby. Whatever time your heart needed to hear this, this is gentle hours. And the word for this week is stillness. Now, in this space and for today's word, stillness is not about silence. It is not about emptiness. It's not the absence of feeling, but stillness. That allows everything inside of you to settle without being rushed into any kind of understanding. And maybe when your heart breaks, everything inside of you starts moving way too fast. Your heart doesn't seem to rest. Your thoughts don't seem to rest. Your emotions don't sit still. Your body feels like it's bracing for something even when nothing is happening anymore. And what most people don't tell you is after heartbreak, it's not just your heart that hurts, it's your sense of peace that gets disrupted. So then you try to fix it. Stillness does not rush to healing. Stillness wants you to sit down. And it'll tell you, you don't have to figure none of this out right now. So before we go any further, I need you to I need you to take a breath with me. Now bab baby, I don't want this to be a force one. I just want you to let your body do what it is willing to do. So take a deep breath in. And now let it out slowly. Because today we are not running after any kind of closure. We are allowing our stillness to hold what feels so unsettled. Now there is something about a heartbreak that pulls you out of your center. And you don't realize how you've been drifting until you sit with yourself and it feels very unfamiliar. It's like your mind is too loud, like your own body doesn't feel like a place that you can rest peacefully anymore. And that can make you feel like you've lost something deeper than the relationship. But baby, please listen to me very gently. I want to remind you that you didn't lose yourself. And stillness. Now stillness is the way that you find your way back. And stillness is not about having no thoughts. It's not about wanting from anything. Stillness is not about being emotional. It's about allowing your emotions to rise and fall without abandoning yourself in the process. So, baby, if your heart still aches, if your mind still begins to wander back, if certain moments still feel heavy in your chest, I want you to know that you are not doing anything wrong. You are feeling your way through something that mattered. And to be honest, stillness is where that healing begins. So I need you to I need you to take another breath. And this time I need you to place your hand somewhere on your body. I want you to feel your own presence. Your job is not to fix anything, your job is not to change anything. I just want you to remind yourself that you are still present and you are still here. Because baby heartbreak has a way of making you feel like you've been removed from yourself, like you are watching your life instead of living in it. And stillness. Now stillness gently brings you back into your body right here, right now. You, my baby, you are here. Now let me say something that might shift the way that you see this. You are not trying to go back to who you were before this. Stillness is not about returning to the old version of you. It's about meeting the version of you that exists now. The one that knows more, the one that feels deeper, the one that has been split open, but definitely not destroyed. And I know that being still can feel uncomfortable. Because when everything quiets down, there is no distraction from what you feel. But that is where your healing lives. And your healing does not happen in the chaos and the noise of everything. Mm-mm. It does not happen in the distractions. It's not you pretending that you're okay, but in those quiet moments where you finally sit with yourself and you do not turn away, my baby. So baby, when your thoughts start erasing, instead of chasing them, you know, I want you to gently say to yourself, I don't have to solve this right now. When your chest feels heavy, instead of tightening against it, I want you to remind yourself, I can hold this feeling without becoming it. And when the silence feels unfamiliar, I want you to understand that this, this is not emptiness. My baby, this is space. It is space for you to return. It is space for your nervous system to settle, it is space for your heart to learn a new rhythm. One that is not dependent on what hurts you. Stillness teaches you something very powerful. It teaches you that you can sit with yourself and not fall apart. And in that, knowing that is a strength that is very, very quiet, and that is where your stability is being built. So, my baby, if today, if today all you do is sit with yourself for a few moments longer than you did yesterday, now surely that is enough. If today you choose not to run from your feelings, then surely that is growth. If today you allow yourself to rest in between the waves of emotion, my baby, that is surely some good old healing. You don't have to rush any of this, you don't have to force any kind of peace, you don't have to pretend, my baby, that you are okay. You just have to stay. And one day, one day you will notice that your thoughts have become more softer. That your body feels less tense, that your heart doesn't feel like it's searching for something that's no longer there. And it won't be because you force yourself to move on, it will be because you allowed yourself to be still long enough to come back home. So, my baby, I want you to take one more breath with me, and we are going to do this slow, easy, and gentle. And as you release it, I want you to let go of the pressure to have it all figured out. Baby, you are not behind. You are not broken beyond repair. You are just in this space of becoming. And my baby, stillness, stillness is not empty. It is where you find yourself again. Every time you choose to stay, every time you choose not to run, every time you sit with yourself just a little bit longer, my baby, you are returning. So, today, tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until we come back to a new one. I want you to move gently, my baby. Speak kindly to yourself, be patient with your progress, and honor the work that's happening within you right now. You are healing, you are growing, you are still. I'll meet you again. Same softness, my baby, same space, same person. Until then, stay with yourself.
