Many of us will do anything to ignore or suppress our emotions. Here's why we should feel our feelings instead.
. Emotions are the locomotive of our life–when we feel them, we move forward, and when we suppress them, we get stuck.
Emotions provide a wealth of social information, such as understanding when someone needs help and communicating our needs to others. If we listen, they offer valuable information that can help us form stronger relationships, avoid danger, and make better decisions in life. This allows us to build deeper, more meaningful bonds with people in our lives. Emotions also keep us safe and prepare the body to take action when needed.
But how do we actually feel our feelings? If we tune in, our emotions often have a physical manifestation that shows up in our bodies. Sadness can feel like a dull heaviness in our hips. Anger can feel like a hot intensity coming from our arms and chest.Once we identify what is happening in our bodies, we can offer the emotion a name . Naming an emotion is a powerful practice of self-validation–we acknowledge and accept our emotions without judging them or trying to change them.
When we witness and name a feeling in our body, we permit it to share its information with us. Maybe our shame is asking us to share the source of our shame with someone we trust so that we can feel liberated from our shame-induced isolation. Maybe our anger is asking us to shake and scream the heat and intensity out of our bodies. Perhaps our sadness is asking us to bathe in sorrow and weep to allow ourselves to process what we have lost.of our emotions, we offer ourselves a gift.
