Feelings

Mental Health Monday: Let Your Feelings Flow. Emotions aren’t meant to be pushed down or ignored. They come in waves — they rise, they fall and they pass. You don’t have to judge what you feel. This week, give yourself permission to feel without shame. Healing happens when we stop fighting our emotions and start listening to them.

Miss Louisa County 2026 Nicole Linder and Louisa Town Council member Vicky Harte visited Louisa County Middle School on May 15 to read to a special education class. Linder read the book “Worry Monster,” which teaches strategies to calm anxiety, and then led students through mindfulness activities to help them talk about and manage their emotions. She said she hopes the visit encourages students to feel safe sharing their feelings and reflected that each classroom visit shows how a small conversation can have a big impact.
