Beloved, Why Are You Wearing a Toboggan in July?
Manage episode 491715912 series 3347199
Ever caught yourself shivering in summer? Not because of the weather, but because your heart is still dressed for winter? This episode dives deep into the powerful metaphor of dressing for your emotional seasons.
When life shifts but we remain bundled in the heavy coats of past hurts, we miss the sunshine breaking through. I share reflections on why we sometimes respond coldly when everything around us is warm – how internal struggles cause us to wear the wrong emotional attire for our current season. Whether it's carrying baggage from past relationships or maintaining a defensive posture when opportunities for joy present themselves, many of us are emotionally overdressed.
The transformation begins when we recognize the mismatch between our emotional wardrobe and life's current season. It's time to shed those winter layers – the grudges, the disappointments, the protective shields that once served us but now hold us back. Even when your heart still hurts, you can choose to "put your makeup on" and dress for where you're headed rather than where you've been.
This isn't about denial; it's about intentional alignment. Sometimes we must dress for the season we want before it fully arrives. By shedding heaviness and embracing lightness, we create space for new growth. Nobody should be able to tell what you're going through by how you carry yourself.
