EASE Somatic Wellness and Coaching

I was feeling a lot of disappointment today but it was a busy morning and didn’t have time to process through it. So, I did what I’ve always done-declared I’m in a bad mood, had really negative thoughts, used social media as a way to zone out (and make me feel worse) and just crab around.

Once I had a moment though, I sat with what I was feeling. I cried. I made guttural noises. I moved my body in the way it needed to move to feel my emotions. And then I ended with rocking and hugging myself because that’s what my body said I needed.

It didn’t take the reason I was disappointed away, but it changed how I showed up the rest of the day. Because the emotions were there, regardless of if I dealt with them intentionally or not. They were driving my thoughts and behavior for the entire morning. But once I sat with them and felt them and let them move on, then I got to decide how I was going to show up.

That is the power of listening to our bodies and feeling our feelings. It gives us choice and a little more control over our responses, behaviors and choices. That’s the magic ✨

I was talking with a client today, about the state of the world. We talked about how, as a society, we don't really deal with "negative emotions" and by that we often think of those as anger, sadness, frustration, but fear is in there too.

And fear is a big one. We avoid things that make us afraid, which is valid, of course, but because we avoid, we don't feel allow ourselves to feel that fear. And the thing about fear is that it keeps us stuck. It makes us feel helpless, overwhelmed and frozen and this is pretty disempowering.

But when we let ourselves feel the fear, in small bites, and listen to what is has to say, it can move and digest. And that gives way for more empowering emotions like clarity, courage, and even anger, which can lead to action.

It's okay to be scared and when looking at the world today, I think most of are scared. And that's okay. But we don't want to let that fear paralyze us. Because empowerment comes through action.

And we can't do everything, but we can always do something.

Just a reminder. We are more than our productivity. We are more than others expectations. We are more than the voices in our heads. We are worthy just by existing. 💖💖
