We spend so much time fighting our emotions when we could understand ourselves so much better & feel confident in who we are if we just learned to accept & honor our feelings. I have 5 easy ways to start learning to accept & honor your emotions today!
Show Notes:
Fake it till you make is one of those phrases I used to live & die by because I never wanted to acknowledge how I was truly feeling. I would fake whatever the most appropriate emotion was in the moment & just get through the experience. I didn’t want to expose any type of vulnerability for fear someone would use it against me or it would make me appear less than. And when you are slinging punches at all the trauma trying to take you out, you are not about to expose any weak spots.
That was another thing, being vulnerable felt weak to me when I was younger. I remember there were times that I did share emotional things with others, but it was such an awkward interaction & never felt natural to me because I wasn’t taught how to properly deal with my emotions. And since it didn’t feel right, I didn’t end up doing it often. Eventually, all that ended up blowing up in my face & I was forced to face my emotions.
We spend a lot of time running away from our emotions. We think we can just brush it all under the rug, pretend like we aren’t feeling what we’re feeling & think it will all be fine. But think about all the experiences, people, events that trigger a reaction in you, think about all the things that make you uncomfortable but you don’t know why. Have you ever asked yourself where all this comes from? It comes from not accepting your emotions & trying to throw those away. And instead of those feelings actually going away, these instead get stored away somewhere deep in our minds to bubble up later at a very inopportune time.
Trying to hide your feelings, trying to ignore what you’re feeling, trying to pretend you feel differently than you actually do is what I thought it would be helpful to talk about accepting & honoring your emotions.
