Today, we’re going to uncover one of the most important realizations of this entire journey.
We Were Never Taught How to Feel
Most of us were taught many things growing up.
But very few of us were taught how to feel.
In fact, many of us received the opposite message.
“Stop crying.”
“You’re okay.”
“Don’t be upset.”
“Be strong.”
“Get over it.”
“Move on.”
The intention may have been loving.
But the message was clear:
Feeling bad is not okay.
So we learned to disconnect from our emotional experience.
Emotions Are Meant to Move
Every human emotion is designed to flow.
You don’t cry forever when you’re given space to cry.
You don’t stay angry forever when anger is fully expressed.
You don’t stay joyful forever, even when life is beautiful.
Everything moves.
This is the natural design of being human.
