The irony of bouncing back quicker, is that you will bounce back faster if you give yourself permission to feel everything to 100% when it happens. A lot of resistance to actually letting go is the emotions that get stuck along the way. When we resist it by telling ourselves we should be moving in, that's when we compound the emotions we already have because we don't give ourselves the time that we deserve. Let yourself feel all the emotions and actually going through the emotion means you will be able to get through the other side. I also hesitate around the idea of resilience because I think sometimes in society the idea around resilience is people being unaffected by the world around them and I believe it's part of why society encourages people to be numb so a lot of people who appear as resilient are actually so used to not noticing how they feel that they avoid it and then one day, that's why they will break down because this wealth of emotions will all come out at once in an overwhelming way. The fact is some people feel things deeper than others and that's OK too. M xx
