I know, I know. Facing your feelings sounds about as fun as going to the dentist. But hear me out — learning to sit with and process your emotions is one of the most courageous and liberating things you can do for yourself.

You see, avoiding our feelings is like trying to run away from our own shadow. No matter how fast we go or how cleverly we try to distract ourselves, our emotions are always there, beneath the surface. 

And the more we try to suppress them, the more they tend to fester and grow, until they explode out in ways we can’t control.

Instead of seeing emotions as enemies to be conquered or something to be avoided, we need to start viewing them as messengers. Every feeling, no matter how uncomfortable, is trying to tell us something important about our needs, our boundaries, our values.

But I won’t sugarcoat it — facing your feelings takes courage. It means being willing to sit with discomfort, to feel the full depth of your sadness, your anger, your shame. 

However, with practice, facing your feelings becomes easier. It’s like building a muscle — the more you flex it, the stronger it grows. And the payoff is immense.

When we’re no longer at war with our emotions, we free up so much energy that was previously spent on suppression and denial. We’re able to show up more fully in our relationships, our work, our passions. We experience a newfound sense of wholeness and inner peace.

So how do you actually do that? How can you start today?

Allright, allright. I will show you clear steps so you don’t have any excuses left.

I will give you three practices. 

Pick one intuitively (which fits your life the best) and do it at least once per day for a few minutes. The best times are when you wake up or shortly before you go to sleep. So open your calendar app, and make a repetitive task so you don’t forget it.
