four Quarters of Becoming More Attuned to Difficult Emotions
There is so much tension that surrounds us this year. So many of us, myself included, are feeling anger, dread, grief, and defeat about the upcoming days. There is a lot that we don’t have agency over.
Finding what’s controllable in what seems completely out of control is incredibly important to our physical and mental well-being.
I created this project to blend my art with my journey of connecting language to my emotions. My aim is to help you deepen your emotional connections in order to better navigate the turbulence we're all facing.
This project is not about shifting out of negativity into positivity, but out of negativity into neutrality. It’s not about making the storms go away, but accepting that storms are going to come and having the tools to be ready for them.
HOW THE PROJECT WORKS
2025 is broken down into 4 quarters and 4 emotions.
January - March: Anger
April - June: Grief
July - September: Defeat
October - December: Dread
January - March:
April - June:
July - September:
October - December
Anger
Grief
Defeat
Dread
Videos will be created that focus on expressing and releasing the emotion of that quarter. The beginning of the video is a somatic exercise to follow along with that transitions into a relaxing mandala. All videos will be available for free on YouTube.
QUARTER ONE - ANGER
One of the most charged emotions, anger tends to bring up additional feelings of shame as we are conditioned to not be “angry people.” Anger is actually an incredibly useful emotion and can be positive when channelled well. Working with our anger allows us to engage more intelligently and calmly with whatever issue is at hand.

HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT THE PROJECT
The somatic exercise/mandala videos are available to purchase so you can watch them any time you wish, ad-free, on your phone, tablet, computer, or television.
Your purchase is the best way to support the project, but your YouTube views, likes, and comments also matter! I'm still far from qualifying for monetization, so watching, engaging, and sharing with others really helps.
