Emotional Freedom

Our human experience is lived through emotions that we perceive as "positive" or "negative".

While the "negative" ones are often shunned, it is important that we bear in mind that our emotions are indicators of the stimuli in our environment.

For example, anger might indicate that our boundaries have been overstepped, disappointed may indicate that our expectations in a situation were not met, fear might indicate that we are in some sort of danger.

Instead of repressing our feelings, and resort to the societal pressure of always being positive, let's take a moment and sit with our feelings, and understand what triggered them. 

Let's take a moment alone, feel it fully, get to the bottom to understand why it is here, and then release it.

If there are any actions to be taken, let's settle in a neutral state of mind (which happens within a few hours or a few days, and after some self care) to do so.

We release shame in experiencing feelings that are integral to our humanism as we know that every feeling serves a purpose and that integrating our negative and positive sides creates more acceptance in us, allows us to have a balanced mental and emotional state and gives us more clarity.
