There appears to be a very strong message out there that says emotional expression is unacceptable. In some settings, emotions are seen as week and should be avoided at all costs. This message has taught society as a whole to learn to avoid and stuff their feelings. Unexpressed emotions can cause damage to us mentally, physically, and spiritually. Trust me, I know! The fact of the matter is, emotions are an undeniable part of life. Learning to embrace and express them in appropriate ways is absolutely necessary to a healthy happy relationship with self and others.
Thought for the day: Pay attention to what your emotions are telling you. When something comes up for you, what is something you can do to honor those feelings?
