Mindfulness reflection in times of emotional overwhelm
Hello, dear friend.
It’s been a while.
So let me ask: How are you?
Not the “I’m fine” version.
But how are you—really?
Have you felt your sadness creeping in lately?
Have you numbed it with distractions, filled the silence with noise, scrolled until your breath faded into the background?
Have you smiled for others, while forgetting to smile for yourself?
Have you questioned your worth, your place, your presence?
Have you chased something “better,” again and again, only to find yourself standing in the same spot, holding the same ache?
Have you worn your sadness for years—quietly, like a second skin?
If so, you are not alone.
And if you’ve asked yourself these questions lately, then maybe…
This is your invitation to pause.
To undress the sadness.
To sit in silence.
To meet yourself with the tenderness you’ve given others.
Breathe.
Touch your heart.
And ask again: How am I, really?
