🦥💜 MEET MISTY 💜🦥

Hi Bright Hearts!
My name is Misty, and I'm Buddy's Quiet Feelings friend.

You already met Blaze. When Blaze shows up, feelings can get BIG, FAST, and HOT.

When I show up, feelings can get SLOW, HEAVY, and QUIET.

Sometimes Buddy feels sad.
Sometimes he feels worried.
Sometimes he feels lonely, disappointed, embarrassed, or unsure.
Sometimes he wonders if he's good enough.
Sometimes he doesn't feel like trying.
Sometimes he just feels stuck.
That's usually when I appear.
A lot of people think quiet feelings aren't important because they don't make a lot of noise. But that's not true.

Quiet feelings have important things to tell us too.
Sometimes they tell us we're tired.
Sometimes they tell us we've been hurt.
Sometimes they tell us we need comfort, rest, connection, or help.

My job isn't to keep Buddy stuck.

My job is to help him slow down long enough to listen and think.
Because when we listen carefully to our feelings, we can learn what they're trying to teach us. And once we understand what's happening inside, we can choose our next brave step. When Buddy listens to me, he discovers some pretty amazing things:
💜 Patience
💜 Compassion
💜 Thoughtfulness
💜 Self-reflection
💜 Calm
💜 Wisdom

You see, Blaze helps us notice when something important is happening.
I help us understand what it might mean.
Together, we're learning that all feelings are welcome here.
Even the quiet ones.
Especially the quiet ones.

💛 BrightHeart Reminder 💛
Big feelings.
Quiet feelings.
All feelings are welcome here.

When we learn to listen, think, and choose, we grow:

Because courage grows through connection.
