Emotions need a Voice
How many times has someone said; “You shouldn’t feel like that” or, “Don’t feel that way! That’s ridiculous!” More often than not, their comment and the judgments attached to the statement will send us swimming down the river of emotional denial. Emotions need a “voice.” They need to be “aired out.” When feelings are not acknowledged, they do not go away. They fester, spread and infect every aspect of your being and life. Iyanla Vazant
Everyone's feelings are valid. They may make you uncomfortable, they may not make sense to you, they may not be what you know, they may not mesh with your own feelings.
We have a choice to be around the people who have shown and expressed their feelings which we are not alignment with.
We have a choice to deal with our own discomfort when it comes up
Make enquiry with yourself when someone else expressing their feelings makes you feel a certain type of way.
Feelings buried alive do not die, they fester. And we all know when things fester in the darkness
it becomes more than usual, toxic!
Breathe and feel those feelings, find tools to express them but don't bury them or supress them
Peace
