Feel Thyself

Accept emotions for what they are. Don’t judge yourself for having feelings. Don’t try to make yourself feel different. Don't fight yourself. (It won’t work!) Instead, listen to and accept that your emotions are there and allow them to be present with you as you move through life.

We make a choice based on the type of person we envision ourselves to be. By building a different relationship with your inner critic, not one where you react, one where you are in control.  And it starts by opening up, to feeling.

Pain is not meant to be avoided; pain is meant to be acknowledged and embraced so that eventually, it can heal and make space for something new.
