Acknowledge your emotions from "summary" of Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies by Tara Schuster
When you're feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, it can be tempting to push them away or pretend they don't exist. But the truth is, ignoring your feelings only makes them stronger. They'll keep bubbling up to the surface, demanding to be heard. So instead of trying to suppress them, try acknowledging your emotions. Acknowledge that it's okay to feel whatever you're feeling. Whether it's anger, sadness, fear, or joy, your emotions are valid. They're a natural part of being human. By accepting your emotions, you're giving yourself permission to feel them without judgment. This doesn't mean you have to act on every emotion you have, but simply allowing yourself to experience them can be incredibly freeing. When you acknowledge your emotions, you're taking the first step towards understanding them. You're giving yourself the opportunity to explore why you're feeling a certain way and what may have triggered those emotions. This self-awareness can help you make sense of your feelings and ultimately lead to greater emotional intelligence. By recognizing and accepting your emotions, you're also practicing self-compassion. You're showing yourself kindness and understanding in moments of distress or pain. Instead of beating yourself up for feeling a certain way, you're offering yourself love and support. This can be a powerful act of self-care and can help you navigate difficult emotions with more ease and grace. So the next time you're feeling a strong emotion, try to pause for a moment and acknowledge it. Take a deep breath and tune into what you're feeling without judgment. Allow yourself to experience your emotions fully and with compassion. It may not make your feelings disappear, but it can help you better understand and process them. And remember, it's okay to feel your feelings – they're a part of what makes you human.
