How To Free Our Feelings

29. November 2008 by Patricia.

Many of us are frightened by the apparent power of “negative” feelings – such as fear, anger, and sadness. So instead of feeling these emotions, we use food to submerge them below our consciousness. Using food to dodge feelings can be convenient and momentarily helpful. Nonetheless, the consequences of not acknowledging the full range of our emotions can lead to a life disconnected from our authentic Self.

I believe that honoring feelings is the key to loving ourselves. Without exception, in every situation where I have allowed myself to feel my feelings rather than resist them, I have felt more alive, more vibrant and more connected to my true Self.

Remember that getting in touch with your feelings doesn’t mean you have to act on them. Simply becoming aware of emotions can help steer you toward an authentic relationship with who you truly are.
