This week Tess & Sarah talk about emotions, how they show up, what we can do to explore them, maybe challenge them, and what we can do to edit and support ourselves.
Main points about what we discussed in this episode:
[2:30] Go do what you’ve been putting off, it’ll help lift tension
[6:20] Emotions aren’t just mental, but they also affect us physically, too
[11:00] It can be beneficial to explore what evidence we have for our thoughts, emotions
[14:40] Explaining Compassion Focused Therapies
[22:00] It’s good to explore not only the “negative” but also the “positive” emotions
[32:00] Always important to meet ourselves, and the emotions we experience, with compassion!
[38:50] Writing down how we’re feeling emotionally, physically, can be very helpful in allowing, processing and releasing.
This week’s Happy Edit Tool: Notice the emotions you’re feeling with compassion, without going into the narrative, and sit with it if you can. If it’s too difficult to sit with it right now, that’s okay. Notice how the emotion shows up in the body, where do you feel it? Ex. I’m noticing I’m feeling quite anxious. My chest feels tight, my shoulders are pulling inward.
Happiness isn't just being happy, it's an embodied feeling that starts with how we approach life, our actions and our mindset. Everyone has a range of emotions and that’s a good thing. Join The Happy Edit Sisters as they dive into what it means to be happy and how we can build a foundation for happiness through different lenses.
