Beautiful reflection, Maggie! Thank you. It's so important to realize that even those of us in support roles need to also be supported and to support ourselves.

A very important topic, Maggie, thank you for this episode! ❤️ One of my ways practicing stubborn gladness is a self-reflecting question "Is this mine?". When working with other people's issues and emotional load that comes along with it, news, social media drama etc., I ask myself “Is this fear/anxiety/hate/loathing (whatever) I’m sensing mine?” I've found it a grounded way to be aware, present, and consciously choose joy. And literally choose because the answer to this question is ultimately what I choose.

That’s a great practice, Elina. It can be easy to get caught up in other people’s energy and forget to check in. “Is this mine?” is simple and succinct, a great touchstone for centering in and choosing where to focus. Thank you for sharing!

Yes, I think a huge amount of our emotions and thoughts actually are not ours at all! There's a constant energy communication going on, and it's indeed very easy to get stuck in it. Waiting for the next episode 🤩
