I have learned that when I am emotionally raw the best thing I can do is to feel what I am feeling in healthy and loving ways. Often, because women are told they are too emotional, we stuff what we are feeling. It’s like we push it down as far as we can and put a lid on it. Over time, we completely lose our heart. We end up all in our head and unaware of what we’re feeling anymore.
When you are emotionally raw it’s an opportunity to learn how to be better in touch with your heart, soul and spirit. I am emotionally raw after my Women’s Self-Love Evolution Retreat. I hold this huge container for women to learn about themselves and at the end of it my emotional exhaustion is overwhelming.
And when I am like that, I am going to allow myself to feel it. It’s easy to want to get rid of it, stuff it, because it is SO overwhelming. There’s a difference between expressing it in an overly emotional way and feeling what you’re feeling. That’s where I go- the latter. By feeling what you’re feeling you are better able to increase the connection to your heart. By feeling what you’re feeling you are better able to tap into your own joy. By feeling what you’re feeling you’re able to create an expression of self love.
By feeling, I find that my expression is appropriate. Sometime we cannot be alone when it’s happening! But if I try and control it, others see a wreck. Or someone on guard. Or even an angry woman.
