Here grows two roses.
One has very few petals and one has 5 times the other.
No one ever tells either that they are not a “true” rose!
Both are true to themselves.
I am like the rose with many petals. I have emotional range. I can feel more than anger or non-anger.
I used to have 2 emotions,
- Anger
- OK (as in “I’m OK”)
Yes, I would rush to push out the words because if I took time to think, I may fall apart from really not being OK.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month! Emotional range is a sign of grounded mental health.
I invite you to identify the last time you felt
- Disappointed
- Calm
- Joy filled
- Wonder
Let me know what came up for you.
Always on your side,
Indrani
