Feeling heavy after the holidays? This episode of The Gris Alves's Podcast Tales of Recovery is here to reassure you that it's perfectly normal. Gris Alves opens up about the emotional burnout many face after the December festivities, likening it to a kind of postpartum depression. The episode delves into the exhaustion and shame that can resurface, especially when family trauma and societal pressures weigh heavily on our shoulders. But don't worry, Gris offers practical advice on how to cope.
You'll learn about the power of somatic practices, daily rituals, and the simple mantra 'I deserve to be here' as tools to ground yourself. Gris shares personal anecdotes from her own family gatherings, highlighting how choosing to enjoy and finding humour in the chaos can make all the difference. She also discusses the importance of taking turns in relationships, using the analogy of pearl divers to illustrate the trust and support needed between partners.
The episode closes with an invitation to join the March Mindfulness Magic program, offering a space for mindfulness and community support. It's a reminder that while winter may be tough, spring is just around the corner. So, what are you doing for yourself today? Remember, you deserve to be here.
