In my solo podcast episode this week, I talk about how important it is to cultivate a relationship with your feelings. So that you can begin to identify and name your feelings.
This simple step can provide you with so much information that can help you make choices and move forward in a way that addresses your needs and aligns with your values.
This sounds simple…. But it’s not. We’ve been conditioned to not feel our feelings. And because of that...cultivating a relationship with our feelings is a process and a journey for many of us.
Especially for those of us who worry that we’re not "good enough" and wear the armor of people-pleasing and perfectionism to protect ourselves.
When you’re wearing armor that’s designed to hide your insecurities. You not only protect yourself from the judgement of others. You also “protect” yourself from FEELING your true feelings.
And that’s where the real danger lies. When the “should’s” and “expectations” hijack your feelings and keep you caught in your thoughts. You can become disconnected from your feelings and from your sense of self.
In this week’s solo podcast episode, I talk about the ways I use Restorative Care to cultivate a relationship with my feelings and why I think this is so important in today's world.
We’ve been conditioned to believe our feelings are a sign of weakness. Why is that? Who wrote that narrative? And what purpose does it serve?
I’d love to invite you to explore those questions with me in this week's episode.
To be totally honest, I had another episode planned but switched gears after I allowed myself time to write as I processed the news of the past few weeks. In doing so, I discovered what was really on my mind and in my heart.
I hope that you'll allow yourself some time to cultivate and create a safe space for your feelings. If you do, please let me know. I would love to see what you create or allow to come forth.
