Halloween is full of things that can scare us… creepy costumes, spooky sounds, and things that go bump in the night!
But there’s one thing you don’t need to be afraid of: your emotions!
Emotions aren’t good or bad. They’re little nuggets of information that help us understand what’s happening inside us. They can give us clues about when we feel safe and comfortable or when something feels scary, stressful, or overwhelming.
Instead of pushing away uncomfortable feelings, try getting curious. Ask yourself, “What might this feeling be telling me?”
You don’t have to fear your feelings or fix them right away. Sometimes, the first step is simply noticing them and offering yourself a little kindness.
Wishing you more treats than tricks this Halloween!
