What if feeling your anger was a gateway to confidence?
Hello beautiful one,
What if feeling your anger was a gateway to joy, love and confidence?
What if feeling your fear was a path to more fun with your kids? Less stress at work? More feelings of peace?
What if feeling your shame was the gateway to deeper friendships and more joyful intimacy with your partner?
What if the feelings you are avoiding are actually the key to your own emotional liberation?
It may sound like we are already feeling our feelings – I mean maybe we feel totally overwhelmed by them. But most of us are actually spending a lot of time trying to avoid feeling our feelings.
We try to talk our way out of our feelings – explain them away, come up with ideas, rationlise.
Avoid people / places / situations where we know they arise.
We don’t say what we want to say.
Or we pour our feelings on other people – by venting or ranting.
We make ourselves smaller or less seen.
We eat too much or work too much or stay too busy or disappear into social media.
All in an attempt to avoid the feelings we don’t know how to deal with.
But even if we manage to keep them at bay for a little while. Even if we convince our anger or fear to leave us alone for a while, it will come back. Again, and again and again.
And often this results in making our lives smaller and smaller, in an attempt to bump into these challenging feelings less often.

Our emotions are seeking integration. They don’t want to stay stuck within us. So they will keep appearing over and over and over again until we turn towards them. And feel them.
And what happens when we do?
Wow!
When we choose to regularly be with our feelings. To FEEL them all the way through. In a way that feels safe and possible for us. On the other side of those hard feelings is:
Confidence
Joy
Pure energy
Ideas
Excitement
Any questions?
Love to you,
Diana
