Before we left for the Emergency Room last week, tears began pouring out of my face. G-Man understandably assumed it was because of my pain. But, I wasn’t crying because of pain, I was crying because I didn’t have the physical strength to hold back my tears.
This same thing happened when I was in labor with all four of our children. I didn’t begin crying because the labor was so intense, I cried because my body was so dedicated to the business of birth that I could no longer devote strength to holding in my emotions. Any time my body is being challenged physically, I simply can’t hold in the tears. And the funny thing is, I’m never crying about something specific. I’m crying about everything.
As I explained in Pyramid Theory, I’m in touch with what I need to be the best person I can be. And, for whatever reason, releasing my emotions is the one thing I need but don’t often make time to do. While I wouldn’t recommend a trip to the Emergency Room for a good cry, it was the perfect reminder of the other ER I need but rarely get—Emotional Release.
And no worries friends. I’m back on my feet, feeling great, and I’m right back to ignoring my emotions.
Welcome to my blog turned podcast! Here you can listen or read about what’s on my mind as I try my best to recover from screaming at my kids and nagging the bejesus out my husband.
