What emotions are you suppressing right now?

A few things to think about…

My message for everyone is the same: that if we can learn to identify, express, and harness our feelings, even the most challenging ones, we can use those emotions to help us create positive, satisfying lives.

Marc Brackett

Suppressing the feelings only makes it harder to let them go. Expression is the opposite of depression.

Something to think about …

What emotions are you suppressing right now? One of the things that was made clear from one of session from the mentorship workshop series last Saturday on “navigating generational trauma” is that emotions however long it stays suppressed, have its way of making it way back to the surface. That hurt, pain, or trauma that you do not seem to want to express right now, or maybe you do not seem to have the time to attend to at the moment, they come out. You need to sit with it (hopefully with a trusted person who can help you navigate it), reflect on it and process it so that you can move forward. Because they come out. they really do. And they might not come out the way you would prefer if you do not process them intentionally.

Something to do this weekend

How about we reflect this weekend. Take some time off social media and any other forms of distractions and let’s do a little digging into those repressed emotions and find a way to process them. You will feel a lot better and even free if you do it right.
