“When we embrace those feelings, we can then start to move through them instead of just taking those feelings and boxing them away for good.”
Episode summary:
In this episode, I get into the emotions that we go through and how sometimes we can stop them from actually coming out into the world. Sometimes, it’s a good thing to do; sometimes, it’s really not. And really, when we embrace our feelings and we don’t shove them deep inside of us, we can actually do something with them.
What to listen for:
- The protocol I’ve figured out that works best for me to embrace my feelings and use them instead of being used by them
- How our emotions are actually positive, not negative
- Ways we can best interact with our emotions and how to embrace them
- How to interact with your emotions in a split second
“There have even been certain times where I thought, I don’t know if I can actually control my emotions. I don’t know if I can do anything with them. They’re just gonna do something with me, and I don’t wanna go for that ride.”
- A lot of us struggle with handling our emotions, let alone embracing them
- The crazy-making thoughts of not knowing what will happen if my emotions take over
- I challenge you to recall a time of growth and realization of your growth and what we can learn from those experiences.
“For most of us that have a hard time just moving along without actually doing something with the emotion or with the feeling that is controlled, then that’s where we need to actually spend our time.”
- In most situations, the hardest step is the first one, I share how you can easily take that step
- It can be easy to push or hide our emotions, and it’s literally in that decisive moment we can grow
- Challenging ourselves to embrace what we’re feeling and thinking and how to do this in tiny moments
- What “muscle” is used and how to grow it in simple ways for maximum growth
“You have two options when the emotion starts to well up. I put it in a box and push it away or do something with it.”
- When presented with an emotional situation, we have two options in that moment
- How we can take a quick breath in a moment and process through our emotions in real time
- When we realize the options we have, we can consciously make a decision
