What if: The following two sentences are impacting your overall well-being
In a world of extreme overwhelm, it is hard to claim your space, to stand your ground. Daily challenges are enough without intentionally bringing conflict in our lives. So why do we dismiss our feelings?
We simply brush them aside with ‘I’m fine’ or ‘it doesn’t matter’. If it didn’t matter, you wouldn’t feel the need to say such a thing. In those moments you are suppressing your true emotions. Stuffing them back down because we are afraid to claim our space. To say no to something that we know won’t bring us joy or may even be unhealthy for us.
We’ve all done it but when you make it a way of existing in this world, it will come back to haunt you. You came here to express yourself. To be your authentic self. If people cannot accept it when you say ‘no’ then that is not your problem. It is the other person’s issue to deal with. You don’t owe anyone, anything. This is your life, your experience.
The more we suppress our emotions, the more we are hurting ourselves. Our bodies have all of these trapped emotions that will simply become louder and louder. Your nervous system spends all its time dealing with the overwhelm from the outside and the turmoil that exists within.
Express yourself without fear of the consequences. You may be surprised by the reaction of others but either way, you will be one step closer to being true to yourself and supporting your overall health.
