We're told all kinds of strange things about emotions; that it really doesn't matter to feel them, they can be ignored, that you're weak if you show too much emotion, that some are even dangerous.
Here's a short list, which stories are familiar to you? Careful, you'll get lost in these emotions. They normally need to be controlled and some can be dangerous.
Anger, Sadness, Worry Fear, Envy, Jealousy, Passion, Eagerness, Enthusiasm
And then there's a bunch which some of us (you?) were told we couldn't have at all, here's a short list:
Hatred, Violence, Revenge, Fury, Pessimism, Pity, Worry
SO NOT TRUE!!!
"Emotions are our human barometer...they are natural parts of our being providing us with a wealth of information...all the time...every moment of every day... if we attend to them."
Emotions are integrated thought and feeling. (you can't have one without the other!) They are frequencies of vibration that are expansive, transitional or restrictive. THEY ARE NOT inherently good or bad, they just are. People often mistaking connect how people "act" (behavior) with the emotion...big difference.
Since emotions are simply frequencies of vibration, they don't mean anything about "who you are", your mental health, your personal value or "goodness" as a human being. Just because one feels hate at times, doesn't mean they're a 'bad' person... despite what most of our mothers told us.
As a personal coach I work with all of my clients on their emotional health and emotional freedom, because in the bigger scheme of things, authentic emotions are our path to our truer self!
I invite you to experience, accept and learn to truly love you...
