Quote of the day by Fred Rogers: Fred Rogers’ words sound simple at first. “Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable.” But there is a careful idea beneath that sentence. Rogers was not saying that talking about a problem makes it disappear. He was saying that a feeling can become easier to face once we stop treating it as something that must be hidden.
Fear can feel larger when it has nowhere to go. So can grief, anger, embarrassment or loneliness. Giving those feelings a name does not remove the hurt, but it can make the experience less confusing. Someone who says, “I’m frightened,” has already taken one small step away from simply being overwhelmed by fear.

Today's Quote of the day by Fred Rogers: “Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that’s mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they can become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people that we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.”
