Published: March 29, 2018, 8 a.m.

b'Yes, you read this episode\\u2019s title correctly \\u2013 I\\u2019m talking about meltdowns today. I\\u2019m owning the fact that I\\u2019ve had a few more than normal lately and I want you to know that you\\u2019re entitled to have them, too.\\n \\xa0\\n \\u201cMeltdowns are healthy \\u2013 don\\u2019t resist them.\\u201d\\n \\xa0\\n Right now, as you\\u2019ve heard, I\\u2019ve got a lot of amazing things happening, but all of these things are pushing me right to the edge. It\\u2019s a lot like feeling like a pressure cooker. The stress builds and builds and I feel like I\\u2019m going to burst! And\\u2026 sometimes I do and that\\u2019s OK!\\n \\xa0\\n As a matter of fact, after my magical Bliss Project event both my husband and I had meltdowns at the end of our short two-day recharge. After we had them though, we felt better. And it\\u2019s because we allowed ourselves to move through our emotions!\\n \\xa0\\n Here\\u2019s where the upgrade comes in\\u2026 You can have a downward spiral, but find the good in it! Don\\u2019t let it get out of control to the point where all you\\u2019re looking for is the bad. Have the meltdown, but find some good in it by making sure to have a solution-based conversation after \\u2013 either with a friend, family member or co-worker.\\n \\xa0\\n I\\u2019m not going to lie. Different seasons of your life are going to require EVERYTHING you\\u2019ve got and it\\u2019s going to feel like it\\u2019s never-ending. You\\u2019ll likely want to throw the towel in and fly to a remote island. But it won\\u2019t always be this way. I promise if you keep going, you will make it to the other side.\\n \\xa0\\n So, what will make you feel better or more in control in the present moment? Whatever it is, do that. Just make sure that you\\u2019re getting super intentional by creating the time and space to recharge. And of course, having that full-out ugly cry will certainly help every now and then, too!\\n --\\n In This Episode We Talk about:\\n \\xa0\\n Why you\\u2019re entitled to have meltdowns\\n Why meltdowns are healthy\\n Getting intentional with your time and space\\xa0\\n Resources:\\n \\xa0\\n A Tribe Called Bliss by Lori Harder\\n Now available for order at loriharder.com/amazon\\n Join me on the A Tribe Called Bliss Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1571018952966750/\\n \\xa0\\n Check out my website at loriharder.com.
