Our feelings are a natural compass, to guide us through life. Our feelings emerge to bring awareness. Whether we are celebrating, sympathizing or feeling scorned...it's important to take a moment, be IN the moment & to feel what we are feeling. In order to understand how we can Feel Better, we must first take stock. By being aware of our feelings, we are being mindful.
We need to recognize the importance of our feelings in order to be authentic with ourselves. I know at times it is hard to understand our feelings, but sometimes just by sitting with it, you can start to bring them to the surface. By bringing things to the surface, you are given an opportunity to alleviate the pain, suffering, guilt, (fill in the blank) that binds us to trauma. Let the feelings rise above you, bring them out in full glory. Once they've reached the surface & have been exposed, they no longer reside in you. When you start to feel better, you can once again take flight. Your foundation is stabilizing, spirits are lightening & your eyes sparkle once again.
There is no short cut here. I wish I could say that this process is easy....but what's easy is burying your feelings, and that's a dead end road.
So for MINDFUL MONDAY, focus on your feelings! Don't take the easy way out...it's your life & you're worth it! If you do feel great already, then share it! Help others through support, guidance, mentoring, or just listening.
