Your Emotions Are Your GPS
Have you ever had an emotion immediately rise out of you that made you feel angry, hurt, sad, anxious, etc.,? And then all of a sudden, you begin to FREAK OUT?
Well, you may be freaking out for a couple of different reasons:
1) You may feel unsafe in feeling this emotion and might automatically resort to working against it (default reaction) rather than with it by making it go away as fast as possible through a distraction/by putting a sticker on top of it and saying it’s fine and moving on.
Or, 2) you feel unprepared in how to deal with it by not having the resources and tools to help yourself through this.
However, here’s the thing: these problematic emotions are coming up for a reason — they need to be dealt with; they need to be healed so you can actually move on from them.
A helpful way to deal with these situations is to allow that emotion inside, to feel it, and to pinpoint where the unease is stemming from.
When you know the origin of it, you can then figure out the story you’re giving it and ask if that aligns with your soul (a positive story) or your ego (a fear-based/negative story.)
Ultimately, you want to tell yourself a story that will make you feel better — and that’s also TRUE. You need to bridge that negativity with positivity…
