Learning to honor your emotions

Everyone knows I keep my "boundaries bible" on my hip! Chile listen. 😂😂

Well ya girl Nedra has spoken. And I concur! Socially and culturally we have only ever been taught, and given permission to express anger and contentment. It's not even safe to be "too happy" anymore. Someone is likely to come along and ask you what you're so happy about. 🤦🏽‍♀️

But, as humans we were meant to experience a wide range of emotion (energy in motion). Instead we fear or devalue emotion. We do our best to force them down. Like nasty tasting medicine.

And in the shadow they grow unmanaged, with toxic shame and resentment as their guide. Then one day, they force themselves to the surface, acting in ways you'll regret later. 😩 Cause havoc! Until you force then back down again. #rinseandrepeat.

It doesn't have to be that way sis. We can give our selfs permission to experience our emotions. Learn how to process them and mindfully express them. And then we will realize that ALL of our emotions are trying to tell us something and can be invaluable, if we'd only learn their purpose and functions.
