It took me a while to name it, but I am dealing with letting a good moment be enough. What I need seems to change with my energy, surroundings, and how supported I feel. I do not want to dismiss a good moment merely because harder feelings still exist beside it. What helped you feel understood rather than rushed toward a solution?

Restorative time seems to work best when I stop asking it to be productive. I am especially interested in approaches that still work on imperfect days.
