A feeling is usually something we have after we think. We carefully (or sometimes not so carefully) think our way through something and then come to a decision so we can then have “our” feeling. What if we didn’t think so much and just allowed life to unfold around us without so much mental interference? How much simpler would our lives be?

Try this. Practice having your feelings without judgement or expectation. Allow yourself to completely and fully feel, then notice what happens. What changed? What’s different?  Not fighting your feelings, being fully present in your body, and allowing things to be exactly as they are, is the beginning of a profound healing experience.
