Sit with your emotions…
Sit with your emotions as they arise. Notice where in your body you’re feeling them. Listen to them, feel them, appreciate them… If, like most people, you have a pattern of running from your feelings (or attempting to distract/numb with food, shopping, drugs/alcohol etc) they WILL track you down and keep showing up in different forms and circumstances… until the lesson they hold is listened to and learned!
As long as you’re human, and alive, you’re going to feel! Stop being fearful and trying to run away from (or CONTROL) your most powerful tool. Feelings provide us with the strongest sense of insight and information re. who we are, what/who we like/dislike, why something/someone may be triggering us, and what our heart and body TRULY wants and needs. Your heart & emotions hold the key/answers. Attempting to “think” through your feelings often only leads to anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts and sleepless nights.
Therapy can help you learn to pay attention to the signals and get in touch with your feelings and authentic self.
Learning how to listen to & honor your feelings may lead to Ah-Ha moments, where you suddenly understand a situation or it becomes more clear. Listening to and understanding your truth can give you insight to know how to manage a situation better, or suddenly you’re feeling lighter, less heavy, or just more at peace. It may show up in making healthier decisions, reduction of anxiety or depression; letting go of people or relationships that no longer serve you.
