#EmotionalCapacity

We’ve been trained to seek solutions — the moment when things finally hold together and stop moving.

Healing grows where there’s enough space to let movement happen — room for grief, relief, misery, and joy to coexist without being rushed into resolution.

Spaciousness is not passivity. It’s capacity.

Full reflection for this week here:

A social post from @lifeboatacademy which says: Things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.” — Pema Chödrön

🧵 4/4 System Fix 3 & Conclusion

3. Naming-the-Feelings Protocol: If you can't name the emotion, you can't process it.

Action: Expand your emotional vocabulary beyond "fine" or "mad." Use terms like: frustrated, reflective, overwhelmed, grateful.

Fix: This builds a high-resolution emotional OS. When you process grief instead of just anger, you initiate the correct system repair process.

Final Thought: Restoring emotional capacity is the ultimate system upgrade!

It is not unmanly to feel—it is the deepest integrity. The strongest man has full emotional capacity.

What genuine emotion did the industrial system force you to label as "weak"?
