Moving Through Emotions
Wow... what a big few months it has been, and still going for many people around the world. Everyone has been through and felt a lot the last 6 months. There isn't one person who I have spoken to that hasn't been affected in some way. With all of the emotions we went through, or are still going through, it's important to keep moving through them so we eventually release them.
When we are faced with emotions and situations that shake us to our core or challenge how we show up in this world, a defence may be to shove all of the feelings down or run away so we don't have to deal with them. All of these are survival acts, but you are doing that just, surviving. You are not dealing with them and thriving instead.
If we energetically hold on to sadness, loss, fear, regret, anger... it can manifest into illness and show up by the way of pain and soreness in our body.
If we do the work to let go and release it, we create space and love in our life to manifest magic.
Here is some self-care tips when dealing with pain, loss, change or grief on how to move through the emotions and then let them go.
Be kind to yourself. I can't stress this enough! Don't let your inner-meanie take control. Choose again with a kind thought. Then choose again, and again. Keep choosing kind.
Get some fresh air. Connecting with nature and grounding yourself in the earth is vital at brining your emotions down and connecting your body and mind.
Meditation your way. You can sit down and breathe, listen to guided Meditation, go for a run or sit down the beach and look out to the ocean. Meditation can be simple and help you work through emotions you are holding onto.
Journaling is a great way to work through all of the noise in your head or feelings in your heart. Just write, word vomit everything out. It doesn't have to be perfect, you don't even have to re-read it. Just write and get the energy our of where you are holding onto it in your body.
Dance like no one is watching. Shake it out! Shift the energy from inside of you to outside of you.
Rest, really rest. Stop surfing Instagram, reading a self help book. Just sit and rest. Enjoy a cup of team. Just be. We don't allow our self enough time to just be, feel and let go. Sometimes we just need to create the space to feel our emotions, really feel them. Have a cry and then let them go.
Seek professional help when required. You don't have to go through changes alone, it may only be happening to you, but someone can hold space for you while you go through what ever it is and guide you forward.
And lastly Beautiful, know that what you are feeling is perfectly ok feel and go through. You are not broken, you are perfect just the way you are. Whatever you are going through doesn't define you, and isn't the last page on your book.
Sending you love and light.
