Both-And: An Exercise for Holding the Crappy and the Happy

In today's episode, I'm sharing an exercise for holding the crappy and the happy, because life is often BOTH. It's called the "fart and the flower" exercise! It's such a great way to name the hard and the good, all in one breath. This practice is all about emotional honesty and balance. It's a way to remind yourself that you're allowed to feel both the crappy and the happy (simple acknowledgement and awareness is key here), and that naming the hard doesn't cancel out the good. I'd love to hear how you incorporate this into YOUR daily routine, and how it goes for you!In this episode, I cover:Why focusing only on the “good” can backfireThe “fart and the flower” exercise for balancing the hard AND the happyEasy ways to weave the “fart and the flower” practice into your daily routinesWhy it’s all about simple, low-pressure acknowledgment (not “forced” gratitude) Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!
