Emotional monitoring is the habit of constantly checking or scanning your feelings to “see if you’re okay.”
It can keep us stuck:

1. Constantly asking: “How am I feeling now?”
2. Worrying if the sadness is “gone yet.”

The truth is: feelings come and go on their own. You don’t have to keep watch 24/7.

Try permitting yourself to simply live your day. Let emotions pass like clouds.

Your worth isn’t measured by how you feel, moment to moment.

Central Texas has experienced devastating loss this July.

Grief in the wake of this tragedy affects us deeply, not just in our hearts, but in our minds and bodies.

You might notice:
1. Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
2. Intense anxiety or emotional numbness
3. Waves of sorrow are tied to memories or daily reminders

This grief is a reflection of immense love, for lives cut short, for communities shattered. It's normal to feel overwhelmed and lost.

Amid the sorrow, please remember:
1. You are allowed to feel deeply, with no guilt, no timeline.
2. You aren’t alone; this is a shared loss across Central Texas and beyond.
3. It’s okay to seek help through grief support, therapy, or talking with caring friends.

May we hold space for collective grief, and for love that still lives on.
