Last week, I told you why I wondered if I’d ever send another email again.

And in the emails I have sent since that one, I’ve been reminded of why the work I do is so important to me, and why I am grateful for this email community we have.

So, you can expect more messages from me about choosing love instead of fear, using comfort rituals to dispel fear, get grounded, and return to center when you need to and tips for pausing throughout the day to check in and reconnect with yourself.

And on that theme…

Here are SEVEN unfiltered lessons I’ve learned about fear and comfort in 2025.

#1 - My country might be losing its mind, but I don’t have to. Or, in other words, I can live more peacefully without doomscrolling and watching the news.

#2 - A lot of the news is designed to generate outrage and fear, so if some news story does come my way, it’s important to remember that & remind myself that I know how to return to center.

#3 - Frequency matters. And therefore, it’s never a foregone conclusion that I will experience what is being threatened in scary posts on social media.

#4 - How I start and end my day can make a big difference, which reminds me of that saying - “start as you mean to go on.”

#5 - I am not required to pass on scary information. But I will pass on my own frequency, so emotional self-care is mandatory.

#6 - The experience of coziness and comfort really can regulate the nervous system.

#7 - Even if all I do is breathe deeply and slowly, and exhale a little bit more slowly than the inhale, I can shift what I’m feeling.

What’s your experience been? Do you agree or disagree? And do you have thoughts or questions?

Take a moment to reply and tell me which # resonates the most with you.

I’m so glad we’re connected again, and I’ve been able to share where I’m coming from in the work I do.

In the next few days, I’m going to share more about the summit I mentioned the other day, and then after that, you can expect to hear from me once a week or every other week.

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine
