30 day goal – honouring emotions

It’s a huge win to allow grief, shame, loss, fear – I am hurting so much. I want to feel OK and in control around all the things that have changed for me this year and I don’t. So honouring that truth is a beautiful achievement.

You’re right that labelling these as hard emotions invites resistance and closing in when what I can feel if I allow the pain to be there as fully as it can possibly be is a sense of expansion.

I don’t feel a huge need to take action either, which is different if I’m resisting the feelings. Only allow myself space to be tired to my core.

 

Answer:

 

I love thinking of allowing yourself to feel grief, shame, loss, and fear as an opportunity for expansion. How beautiful is that? When you allow yourself to exist being able to experience all of the human emotions – the ones we tend to embrace and chase and the ones that we tend to resist and try to evade – how much opportunity that gives you to really see your capacity to live a full life without fearing yourself.

How can you care for yourself when you allow yourself to be tired to your core? Can you identify some support measures and figure out what models you need to be in to create those?
