In case you need this: Don't Have the Words for What You Feel? It's Okay If You Can't Name It Yet

from The Life Shift | Conversations About Life Before and After · host Matt Gilhooly

Some feelings show up without warning – and without a name. You’re not sad, not exactly anxious, not even sure what’s wrong… but something feels off. And when you can’t explain it, the urge to fix it gets louder. This short reflection is a reminder that not every emotion needs a label. Not every ache needs to be solved right away. Sometimes, the kindest thing you can do is feel it – even if you don’t understand it yet. If you’ve ever woken up heavy for no clear reason, this is your permission slip to stop searching for the perfect words and just let the feeling be. Learn more about your ad choices.
