Your feelings are valid.
If it feels right, close your eyes, lightly touch your hand to the center of your chest.
❤️ What do you feel there?
Anxiety?
Contentment?
Grief?
Love?
Resentment?
Numbness?
Something else, or a mix of things …?
It’s often suggested that we should be joyous but our human capacity for feeling has much greater breadth than joy alone. We are emotional marvels!
As a practice, you may decide to give yourself a full minute each day to feel what you feel.
Take a quiet moment to simply notice and allow whatever you’re feeling.
With compassion.
And gentleness.
Remembering, whatever you’ve been told, there are no wrong feelings to feel.
Finish this mini practice with three full breaths.
