When you're stuck in a grumpy spiral and can't seem to shake it off

We've all been there - that Sunday afternoon where everything feels irritating, you're snapping at people you love, and you just can't seem to pull yourself out of the funk. This week, I'm sharing the exact process I used to work through my own "petty pity party" and how you can use these same tools when you're feeling stuck.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why naming your emotions out loud is so powerful (and why "hormonal" totally counts as a feeling)
  • The three-step process to move from stuck to unstuck: Name it, dump it, decide about it
  • How to validate your feelings without staying trapped in them
  • Why gratitude works better AFTER you've processed the hard stuff
  • The difference between seeking comfort and actually feeling better

Key Takeaways:

  • You're allowed to feel irritated, worried, and even petty - you're human
  • Separating yourself from your feelings ("I feel mad" vs "I am mad") creates space for choice
  • Some feelings deserve your energy; others don't serve you
  • Having a process gives you power over your emotional state

The Bottom Line: You don't have to stay stuck in negative emotions, but you also don't have to judge yourself for having them. Sometimes the fastest way out is straight through - with intention.
