Do you honor ALL your feelings Spirit Friends? I’m not talking about just a little or sometimes but all the time here. Yes, I know that empaths or H.S.P’s ( highly sensitive people) are more in tune with this but it truly is for everyone. I have a post on being an empath but this is gonna take it a little deeper for us all. It isn’t being too sensitive, emotional, or dramatic but just acknowledging them. During this global time of uncertainty, we NEED to not push away or disregard our thoughts. If you’re mad, be mad! If you’re sad, be sad! If you’re frustrated, be that emotion and sit with it for a bit. Don’t BECOME it, just BE with it and know it is part of you.

Listen to what your heart tells you. We should be listening to our bodies when they tell us something physically about ourselves, right? Like when you are hungry, thirsty, tired, or anything else. Your mind tells you stuff too like when you’re learning, going about your day, or have those things to accomplish. What about the heart though? Do you really listen to it? If you are going thru a difficult or challenging time, do you tell others: “I’m fine.” I bet you do or at least sometimes…. The truth is you are NOT fine but you either don’t want to share, think others problems are worse than yours, or you just want to figure it out on your own. Believe me~~~ I’ve been there too friends. It’s o.k. to FEEL those emotions but acting on them can be tricky. We may say or do things that might be regrettable later on so be aware of how you respond to an emotion. Don’t dismiss or say it doesn’t matter because it does and if you can’t face it, eventually they will manifest in an unhealthy way for your life.

Some of us have that “inner child” we need to address regarding how we were treated back then but I have an “inner teen.” Childhood does bring its own set of circumstances for sure and your story may be much different than mine. I however have that teen girl who I always pushed away. That’s when we kinda “come of age” so the innocence of being a kid fades and now you are faced with more grown up types of decisions. We all know how emotional teens can be~~ I have 2 now! The pressures to conform socially are immense and I tell mine that technically, it never goes away. Some issues will but the social ones are always part of our lives just in different settings. You go from your family, school, career and beyond but that part of us remains. My Medium Friend has told me that you have to “Feel it to Heal It.” This is perfect for all situations whether it’s physical, emotional, or any of them. I pushed away my teen girl because the emotions were so difficult back at that time and I couldn’t or didn’t want to process them. We all know whether you are a parent or not that everything matters to a teen. Grownups know better and say things aren’t big deals since we know it will pass or there are more important aspects of life. For a teen, it is all or nothing and as the adult, we need to address that in them. Try not to mention the “when I was your age…” story too much since that will bring eye rolls for sure. Also, another tip is please for the love of your child or a teen in your life— do NOT say “Oh well, it’s just a_____.” I cannot tell you how many times I heard that line from the adults in my life. That is not the best way to handle your teens emotions. Please tell them that you understand or at least try to and acknowledge what they are going thru. It can be the simplest of stresses but to them, it’s more than that. Just keep that in mind about those hormonal teens we do encounter.

As adults, we deal with those emotions quite different or at least I hope you do. We try tools, tips, techniques, and other strategies as coping mechanisms. I have mentioned so many during this year and a half like meditation, breathing, divination, journaling, and so many countless others. Talking to a trusted friend works wonders as sometimes we need a good listening ear. Before beginning anything you are trying to accomplish or practice, ask yourself this ONE question: “How do I want to FEEL?”  By asking yourself that one question, you are setting the intention to focus on how your feelings and mood will impact the choice or decision. Breathe thru it and let your mind be in the present. Are you feeling good right now? Bad? Sad? Confused? If you have a positive feeling and want to keep it going, then make your intentions flow with you as the day moves on. If you are feeling a negative emotion, try to determine how you can change that thought despite the current situation. What can you do for yourself RIGHT NOW that will change that negative into a positive? It may be just to take a walk, meditate, go outside in nature, take a bath, breathe deep, eat something, or anything small you can then add onto later. Talk yourself thru all the emotions and even if there’s still lingering bad ones, (as there could be) distance yourself from them for a bit and do an activity that will lift your spirits. What do you like to do? Have a dance party and listen to music— that works for me! If you can’t do that, make yourself some tea, play with your kids, trying some adult coloring books, or go tinker out in the garage. ANYTHING that will get that bad thought pushed away and onto a good one. Yes, they will resurface but it’s all in your attitude and response, remember?

We all have our own ways of dealing with mixed emotions but shouldn’t ever ever pretend they don’t exist or will just magically go away. They won’t. Ever. It’s part of us to feel since that is inside us always. Yes, there are appropriate actions to take at certain times but as adults, I think we can figure it out. If you’re stuck, refer back to what truly would make you happy and go for more of that! I believe in you as we all need that support from others always. Write down your thoughts to get it all out if you can’t talk to someone. Honor all the Feelings you have Spirit Friends since once you do, it’s like waving to a part of yourself saying: “Yes, I see you and this is what I’m gonna do…” It makes no difference if it’s a positive or negative emotion as long as you feel it and then keep the good going. Yes, it will be hard for may of you depending on your situation but with patience and time, you will get better with managing all those emotions we are gifted with. From kids, teens, adults, and our entire lives~~ We need to own and know them all. *** Let me know your thoughts on these emotions or feelings friends and we can Work thru them together!*** Please also share with anyone needing some guidance on how to best manage what we as humans experience in every stage of our lives.
