Most of us have been taught since early childhood that emotions are bad. And when we think our emotions are bad, we will do ANYTHING to avoid them.
Anything we want in life, healthy relationships, boundaries around our time and energy, a stronger intuition, a better relationship with ourself starts and ends with our emotions.
And yet, we will do anything to avoid feeling them. We work with healthy diets and exercise, we manage our reactions, we work as professionals at our jobs and yet we ignore the richest source of information-our emotions!
Our culture today reinforces us to not get bogged down by our feelings and emotions. Just consider for a moment some of the names that men and women are called when they act on behalf of their anger or their sadness.
When we believe that our emotions are bad, we begin to put masks on our emotions and vulnerability to cover up from being cast out of the tribe. We lean into our patterns of co-dependence, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and automatic programming. Eventually this creates a really in-authentic life.
This is what I talk about with Karla on this episode and SO MUCH MORE.
Remember, you were created to be an expression of your purpose, to set healthy boundaries and forge fulfilling relationships. And you cannot do that without honoring your emotions.
If you struggle to connect with your emotions, listen to this episode to find out how to make changes and feel a sense of freedom along the way.
