Loving Your Emotions

Nothing is more intimate than our feelings. We often guard them with our very lives. We do every thing to deny them when we should learn to embrace them. Whether we realize it or not, our emotions influence every decision that we make and don't make. The deeper your self-awareness the greater the understanding of your emotions you have. You are not your emotions. However, if you are not aware of and in control of your emotions you will soon find them and you all over the place. Emotions can work with you or against you. So with that being said, it is very important that we learn to accept and deal with our emotions.

Contrary to popular belief our emotions are not meant to stay. Emotions are meant to move. When you deny or run from your emotions they become stagnant. And you soon become stuck in that very emotion. You must face your emotions and move through  them. Emotions can make us uncomfortable and for that very reason we shy away from them. But, emotional care is a very important part of self-care. In fact they go hand in hand with one another. Our emotions are meant to support us. To keep us in a place of total intimacy with oneself. So I say that to say this, it is important that we HEAL and WORK through, TALK through, whatever it is that you need to do to be at PEACE, to be able to MOVE FORWARD, and ultimately BE HAPPY and MAKE BETTER CHOICES. Loving yourself means loving you in all of your wholeness and that includes your emotions.
