Let Your Feelings Live and Let Your Feelings Leave

There’s something wrong with you if there’s nothing wrong with you. I’'s ok not to be ok.


When something feels wrong it doesn’t always mean that there’s something for you to fix.


Most of the time, it means you just have to let it be. Let the feelings be. Let them be.


Only that way, they can and will be released.


We live in a society where being vulnerable is considered weak. Some people will think less of you if you freely express your limitations and shortcomings. We live ina society where appearing perfect and being fine all the time is considered as strong. But that’s not true.


To be honest to yourself and feel your feelings isn’t weak. It takes bravery and high emotional intelligence to admit and feel discomfort, sadness, fear, and insecurity.


Denying uncomfortable emotions, suppressing them, is what most of us do. And we do it because it takes big strength to stop numbing ourselves out and start feeling feelings.


It’s ok not to be ok. And only when we allow feelings to live, we will then allow them to leave.

This is something I struggle with and need to have written on my hand so I see it in front of me all the time.

Thanks for this post.

@talkwithyoursoul Such a good way to manage our emotions. I thank you for this. Indeed, accepting our emotions... however they are... without judgment is the crucial step. They will keep cropping up if we ignore them. I completely agree that being honest is the best way to go about it, as you said. We might intentionally or unintentionally might not convey it using language to others, but we have first-hand experience of what we feel, and that's so healing and liberating. Once the feelings are acknowledged, it does get easy to let them go. You don't have to force yourself to "move-on" from anything; the feelings, emotions, thoughts, sensations and those mental contents come... and then they go... as we continue to observe, acknowledge, accept them without judgment. In fact, this is the crux of many meditation practices. Also, I love that you brought up how this is perceived in society... being vulnerable, that is. This is one of the strongest acts of self-love and care that one can perform.
