When we follow the thread of emotions down bit by bit, we can get to the core of what’s driving anxiety, overthinking, reactivity, activation, avoidance, etc. You name it.
We start with what is most “up” or the charge of emotion that is most obvious. We sit in that, and feel into it, be in the discomfort of it, emote, release, and simply be with it.
And when that becomes less charged, we follow the thread down to what else is there and feel into that. What fears are under the resistance, the rumination, the worry? What does it want us to know?
We reach another emotion and feel that, let it ride itself out. And do this again and again until we reach a sense of the deepest fear, hurt, or feeling that when we get clarity on, the thread feels complete. Is it fear of being judged, of being alone, of being abandoned, of getting stuck, of failure, of powerlessness? Whatever is there is what most needs attention, love, and compassion.
Feeling our feels is like sitting down with a friend who is hurting and just needs to work it out. We do that with each emotion as we would do a loved one. We give it as much time as it needs, sometimes it’s quick, sometimes it several hours. However long, it brings grounding, regulation, awareness, connection, and self love that nothing else can provide.
Now go love yourself up my fellow emotional warriors
