It's important to honor our emotions. Learning to honor our feelings -- including the challenging emotions -- teaches us to honor ourselves.
We don't always know what to do with challenging emotions. Instead of stuffing, ignoring, or trying to numb them, next time a difficult feeling comes up, remember it's okay to...
✔️ honor and express your feelings as they arise
✔️ respect all of your emotions equally
✔️ not judge how you feel as “right” or “wrong”
✔️ honor your feelings without acting on them immediately
✔️ amplify your positive emotions but acknowledge the challenging ones, too
