Hi Friend.

Have you ever found yourself in a good mood and something triggers you and you begin to cry? Like a song, a movie, an ad or something else that you weren’t expecting and you have no idea why you are releasing water the way you are? I’ve been there. Many times. And in all honesty, I was just there yesterday in fact.

The difference in when I cry now is even if it hurts, I give thanks because I know something is moving. I used to get so frustrated with myself when I couldn’t immediately put my finger on what was the foundation of the trigger. I wanted to be able to identify all tears. When they were big and fat. Fast moving or slow. When they came with pain in my heart that felt like someone was wringing out a towel. I wanted to know what it was all about. But sometimes, that knowing did not come in the moment. Sometimes I just needed to feel the feelings. And that’s when I accepted lesson 767 in surrendering. All the anxiety and contraction that would come from trying to identify the pain was not the primary focus. And in fact, was just an extended stay in the land of suffering to suffer. There need be no focus at all when these unexpected tears show up. There need only be surrendering to the moment of release. To allow our bodies to let go of what they could no longer hold. To give thanks for the space being created, for whatever is to come. To give thanks to our bodies for their intelligence and wisdom. To just let go and let it happen and to trust that whatever needs to be revealed would be in time.

So the next time you find yourself crying “for no reason”, say thank you because there is definitely a reason. You’re creating space for more beauty, honesty, love, joy or whatever your heart is trying to magnetize to you.

You’re doing great. You are beautiful in every way and you are worthy of your own attention.
