Today isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about showing up, even quietly, and treating yourself with kindness. Healing can be slow and still be real. If you’re reading this and feeling tired, please know you’re not alone.

I am embarking on a “news detox”. On Sunday night, Sydney, my beloved home in Australia, an act of unspeakable violence was let loose on Jewish people celebrating Hanukkah. 16 people died and 40 people are in hospital. Many of those in hospital are clinging to life, just.
I think it’s a natural human response to keep up with media coverage of this unprecedented crisis. It helps to try and make sense of something that seems senseless.
Yet, I know, there comes a point where being informed can become toxic and it starts affecting your mental health. That’s where I have found myself.
Throughout history horrendous things have happened to good people. Families have been forever damaged because of people embracing evil and letting that warped anger be unleashed on
innocent people who gathered for what was supposed to be a celebration.
So I am going to avoid news coverage for at least 3 days. That won’t be easy. I like to stay informed and up to date, but the impact on my mental health means staying informed comes with a huge price tag. It’s too high a cost.
I know there are specific situations that are very high risk of bad triggers and I generally manage those very well. This current situation is totally unique and May we never see it again.
Are there situations and circumstances that you have to avoid because they are triggering?

Not every day feels like progress, but every day I’m still here is proof that healing is happening.
I’m learning to move forward gently, with patience, hope, and a little more self-compassion each time.

Translation of the song "Ewigkeit" by Outbreakband
I'm longing for a place where there will be no more suffering.
'cuz what I see with my eyes, my soul can't bear.
I know You I can trust Your plan.
Even on a heavy path, I look upon you.
Eternity is my home. You have laid it into my heart. When I'm gonna die, I know my soul will live forever.
And this hope will carry me until I'll meet you face to face.
I know I'm just a visitor, 'cuz true home is only with You. As part of Your family, I'll forever be with You.
I fix my eyes on eternity, that's what I'm living for.
(I translated the song by myself, so it's kind of freestyle.)
