Feelings are ours to use ๐ from our subconscious Self, to our conscious Self.
They are not there to be disguised or ignored or distracted from or tricked into changing into another feeling. ๐ ย They are to experience, release and learn from.
Historic Britain had no understanding of ourselves and this included the point and purpose of feelings. They were something that only ‘got in the way’ and Britain’s style historically was always to ignore, ridicule, demean or outlaw something it was ignorant of. Consequently, in our societies, we are still behind even ancient other cultures when it comes to knowledge of our feelings.
I process my feelings with interest. I make a conscious decision to observe them, from a place of contentment. I exhaust them of everything I can learn before they leave me. Or, before I consciously negotiate their leaving me.
I am not a prisoner of them, or at their will, but I will always take heed of them. I accept them for what they are and I work with them, creating time and opportunity to reconnect into them when it is convenient for me to do so.
Ignoring this crucial information we are sending to ourselves with purpose, leads to illness. prevents growth. and prevents our experiencing a better life.
There is no such thing as an irrelevant feeling.
As I was born into a place of constant additional suffering, I am very experienced at management of feelings as I have had no other choice but to learn how to master them.
As we are energy, the cause of our feelings is named really well for they are, ‘energy in motion’ = ’emotion’.
Always allow your energy to flow…you are like the basket ball that can never touch the ground if you are still.
You must keep your energy moving, if you want to play this game of life – by the rules of our design – and play it well! ๐
The Stiff Upper Lip is far less of a problem than it was.
Thank you Clare for your very interesting comment! ๐ Certainly it is reduced in some places, in some families, but unfortunately it remains globally, to an enormously significant degree. We really do need to learn the point of our language ability! Blessings ๐
