Are you resisting your feelings instead of releasing them?

Emotions are signals from the body that something important is happening. They’re activated by many things and are interpreted by your brain’s default mode network as stories about your feelings.

Emotional Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to life without trying to fix or solve anything. Some emotions are uncomfortable because of the beliefs we attach to them. Embrace your emotional range as good for you.

Stop Suppressing Emotion

Suppressing your feelings or trying to ignore them creates a buildup of stress hormones in your body. Chronic stress is a leading cause of death and disease, and unprocessed feelings are a top source of tension.

How to Manage Your Feelings

The ability to name your emotions helps you identify and adjust the story. Grounding, breathwork, and movement all help release stored tension. Prioritize peace and avoid draining interactions whenever possible.

Conclusion

Your feelings hide out in your body if you force them out of your mind. Don’t relive all the thoughts, just focus on feeling the sensations in your body. Once you’ve recognized an emotional message, it releases by itself.
