GIVING MYSELF THE ROOM TO ACTUALLY FEEL EMOTIONS

I get rly caught up with schoolwork around this time of year and it causes me to compartmentalize my emotions for the sake of getting shit done. im trying to NOT do that. im also trying to not invalidate my own feelings; if im upset then i shouldn’t try and push those feelings away

LEARNING TO SURRENDER AND FEEL MY FEELINGS

been on a CPTSD healing journey in somatic therapy and for the first time in my life, I’ve made peace with not being able to control how other people feel. by surrendering control and ending the habit of intellectualizing my feelings, I ride the wave of each embodied feeling, letting myself cry or shake or groove or stretch. as a result, I’ve found it easier to avoid self-betraying (by people pleasing or fawning). I’ve found my center 🥲

FEELING WHAT YOU HAVE TO FEEL

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how much I and those around me numb ourselves to every little uncomfortable feeling. Given everything happening in the word, it feels easier that way. It’s easier to pick up your phone to distract or smoke a blunt to calm down or drink a cup of coffee to mask the exhaustion. And I don’t fault any of us. But recently, i’ve been trying to push myself (within reason) to simply sit with it. To sit with myself. To feel where in my body these feelings come from. Where they settle. Where they move to. Allowing yourself the generosity and space for your mind to sort something out is an immense privilege. Stay gentle. Stay kind.
