Sitting with your feelings.

You know what the opposite of sitting with your feelings looks like…

Poor sleep. A thousand different ideas flying here, there and everywhere. Some with substance. Most without.
Busyness as a coping mechanism.

Everything and anything to avoid sitting with your feelings.

Sitting with your feelings is the opposite.

It looks like sitting.
But you are feeling all the feelings.
Without judgment.
Only curiosity and compassion.

You feel the sensations in your body.
And they pass.

It’s a painful and glorious part of the human experience.

Try it the next time you feel overwhelmed or tumultuous or frightened.

Just sitting and feeling.

And releasing.

And then try it the next time you feel exuberant or joyful or happy.
Take the opportunity to sit and feel the good feelings.
Explore the contrast.

Try it right now.
 It’s delicious!
