Learning to Recover
My most recent light bulb moment was complicated, yet simple. It was one of those days when my mood was all over the place, emotions and needs running in different directions, and then of course too many things to do. Too much going on! My mind was not quiet, so when it came time for our Saturday scene, I was feeling anxious and overwhelmed as we started, and also as usual, hard on myself and not wanting to let Mr. down. I tried, but I couldn’t pull myself out of how I was feeling or cover it up–it was real. So of course the emotions bubbled over.
And then… everything we’ve worked on, talked about and practiced… just worked. He saw me and heard me, understood how I was feeling and adjusted our plans. The light bulb went off. I felt safe, validated, and cared for. We weren’t individuals selfishly trying to get what we each wanted, instead we were teammates working on the same thing. When things like this would happen in years past, we would descend into a vicious circle of insecurity, each feeling wounded because we weren’t getting what we needed.
But now, we’ve learned to adjust and recover. It’s a dance and we adjust to each other. So complicated, yet so simple!
