“I just need to breathe through this emotion and it will go away.”
That’s not how this works. Being calm all the time is over rated. Strong emotions are here to show you something important.
So when you shove down your big feelings, you’re not only keeping those feelings for later, but you’re ignoring the important message they’re trying to deliver to you.
Stop trying to use your breath to make yourself feel better in the middle of a dumpster fire.
Being in a dumpster fire, it should be uncomfortable. It should cause you to want to run.
So RUN and stop trying to make yourself feel better in a situation that’s not for you.
