Mini Meltdowns & Safe Harbors

Do we just reach the point when melting down is inevitable?

Do we enter the safe harbor and instinctively feel the sense of safety required to unleash the mini meltdown?

Whichever is the case, I was grateful today to have the mini meltdown and feel, finally, the release of the toxins that were not only polluting my body but had paralyzed my mind as well.

Surely this small release is only the beginning; a respite, if you will, from the storm. But, hopefully it provides the needed recharge to face (weather) the tempest. Perhaps renewed energy will carry me to the compassion and peace I believe is warranted for all.

  1. There's nothing wrong with melting down. It's a melting away of everything that you put between yourself and your feelings. Remember you won't melt down until you are capable of dealing. Seems counterintuitive. But if you weren't you'd still be buffering...if you are feeling and melting down it's because you're ready to take it on. Embrace it...
