Feelings are notifications. Read them before you swipe them away.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Emotions are reports rather than instructions. Anger usually means a line got crossed, dread usually means something is coming that you have not prepared for, flatness often means nothing lately has mattered much. Waving them off keeps you moving in the short run and leaves the report unread, which is why the same feeling keeps arriving until something changes.

When a strong one shows up this week, ask what it is reporting rather than what it wants you to do. Those are separate questions. Reading it does not commit you to acting, and acting without reading is how most regrettable messages get sent.
