Day 6: Acknowledging and Releasing Grief

Kate Kahl Season 1 Episode 15

Welcome to Day 6 of the 30-Day Life Reset!

Today, we’re addressing a deep and often unspoken emotion: grief. Grief doesn’t just come from the loss of a loved one—it can also stem from letting go of past circumstances, relationships, careers, or even parts of yourself, like your health or fitness.

In this episode, we’ll explore how unprocessed grief can keep you stuck in the past and prevent you from moving forward. I’ll guide you through reflecting on what or who you may be grieving, how to gently acknowledge and release those emotions, and the importance of creating small daily actions to stay present while projecting a brighter future.

💡 Today’s Actions:

  • Reflect on what you may be grieving.
  • Create a small ritual to honor and let go of this grief (e.g., lighting a candle or planting a tree).
  • Practice the affirmation:
    “I make the commitment to kindly, gently, lovingly, and supportively give myself permission to feel and express my grief so that it can be resolved.”

Let’s take this time to feel and release the weight of grief so you can move forward with acceptance, love, and intention.

Hi, everyone! Welcome to Day 6 of the 30-Day Life Reset.

Today, we’re focusing on a deep and powerful emotion: grief. When I muscle tested, the stress today came up as grief, sitting at the cross-section of the liver and large intestine meridians.

Now, grief doesn’t always have to be about the loss of a person. It can be tied to circumstances, relationships, or even parts of yourself. For example:

  • Are you grieving a relationship or career you left behind?
  • Are you mourning the way your body or health used to be, especially after having kids or going through a challenging time?
  • Are you holding onto the feeling of staying too long in a situation you wish you had left earlier?

Grief can make us feel stuck in the past, and when we hold onto it, it doesn’t serve us in the present or the future. So today, I want you to take some time to reflect:

  • What are you grieving?
  • Who are you grieving?

It’s important to acknowledge these feelings and create space to process them.

One way to do this is by creating a ritual that honors the grief. For example:

  • If it’s a person, you could plant a tree in their memory.
  • You could light a candle for seven days in a row, consciously thinking about them and allowing yourself to feel and process the grief gently but intentionally.

If your grief is about a past version of yourself—your health, your body, or something you wish you hadn’t lost—start with acceptance. Remind yourself that you’re human, and challenges are part of life. Reflect on the lessons you’ve learned through this experience, and perhaps even write them down as a reminder of how far you’ve come.

Once you’ve acknowledged and accepted this grief, it’s time to take small daily actions to move forward. Ask yourself:

  • What does my ideal life look like in the future?
  • What daily steps can I take to start aligning with that vision while staying present and accepting of where I am now?

To help with this, I’ll guide you through an affirmation. Place one hand over your forehead to help clear the stress around this emotion, and repeat after me:
“I make the commitment to kindly, gently, lovingly, and supportively give myself permission to feel and express my grief so that it can be resolved.”

Take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale fully through your mouth.

It’s time to start moving forward. Letting go of grief doesn’t mean forgetting—it means making space for acceptance, love, and growth.

Start small. Take those daily actions. Feel it in order to release it. You’ve got this.

I’ll see you tomorrow for Day 7!
