Thank you for the prompt of intentional care when allowing more difficult emotions to rise and be present.
I love the notion that this is a gateway to self trust.
I’m pleased to say that I have things in place: notably accepting the reasons for them as things that have happened in the past or present and not making them mean anything else about me or the other people involved. This is something that I have been able to lean into more and more since joining TFC.
Acknowledging fault if need be and owning that as part of real life; emotionally practising giving the other person responsibility for what lies with them.
C. Allowing sadness, fear, loss, grief, shame
T. I have these feelings for a reason or reasons that make sense to me
F. Rising emotion
S. Deep in the body anguish. Tears.
A. Hold still to allow the reasons, the feelings
R. The emotions pass and I can refocus on the present
C. Tired
T. I am carrying a lot of emotion, it’s normal to be exhausted
F. Disengaged
S. Need to be alone
A. Lye down to meditation, ask others to pick up chores, allow for less to be done
R. Can work through everything
R. Feel more able to carry difficult emotions and not push them away
I’m pleased with this outcome through a very challenging time.
Answer:
Great insights! What I see in your models is letting go of resistance to your current reality. All emotions are part of being human, and you’re leaning into that. Keep being gentle with yourself as you are in this challenging season. You are worthy and whole just as you are. You don’t need to fix or change anything. Just keep listening to your inner wisdom. What is it telling you?
