In your life (and in mine too) we experience all kinds of feelings and emotions as a reaction to what is going on in our lives. Emotions, which are sometimes difficult and painful (such as insecurity, sadness, loneliness, fear, and other disagreeable emotions). However, we also experience very pleasant and happy feelings (for example, when you fall in love, when you feel loved by a friend or a family member, or if you have a huge sense of self-confidence, etc.).
Being nice or unpleasant, feelings vary, like the rain and the sun. We cannot avoid them but what we can actually do is avoiding to stop crawling through them, without letting them out or denying them.
This is all about not getting dragged or kidnapped by those unpleasant, disagreeable feelings.
What is more: it is equally important to acknowledge the pleasant or unpleasant feelings. We experience sadness, disappointment, or are overwhelmed by very strong emotions. We are not alone in that although sometimes it may seem to us we are. BUT WE ARE NOT.
In experiencing and acknowledging feelings or situations that are happening in our lives, e always have the same option: EITHER I close my heart and mind OR I open myself to those feelings and face them, no matter if they are agreeable or disagreeable feelings.
What is really important is to learn to accept and experience your feelings as they are, to learn to notice them, to identify them, to recognise them, to open up to them and to perceive where you feel them in your body.

ReplyDeleteIt's important to take a breath and to eject the concerns via the expelled air.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, it's vitally necessary to focus on our unpleasant feelings and not to surround them like if they doesn't exist.
I've done this activity and I can say I feel better after some deep breaths and reflect any problem I had in the past. My experience could approve a recomendation for this wonderful activity to free the soul in only a few minutes.
