The Way Out Is Through

Notice

We notice emotions that feel bad and disassociate from them with thought, or divert them with something external like a person, an event, or an addiction of any kind.

Waking Up To Emotion

Contrary to disassociating, diverting, or resisting emotion, I have inched my way to embracing it. I allow an emotion a chance to blow its steam just by being acknowledged, instead of feeding the fire by rehashing a mental story. Retelling that gut-churning story is making the situation more painful and is hardwiring suffering into my life experiences.

I witness feelings rise, and as I continue to silently watch as the observer, I just as quickly watch the emotion fade away. This is what I call flowing emotion.

 A day that I do not take a few moments to silently feel, is a day that I’m not fully going with my own flow. If you try to get past the storm, you will take it with you. The way out, is through. 

Empowerment:

Today I will stay out of the story, as I silently witness my emotions rise, and fly free.
