All Emotions are Valid and That Doesn’t Mean They Should Dictate Your Actions

There are no wrong emotions, they all are valid. We cannot control how we feel about circumstances or events. Your truth is your truth. The initial feelings you have in response to events are always okay.
What you can control is how you choose to react and respond even when emotions are heightened. Just because your feelings and emotions are valid, doesn’t mean they give you an excuse to behave however you want.

Healing happens through feeling. By refusing to acknowledge bad feelings, you’ll become stuck in the negativity.

Inner peace doesn’t mean you never feel bad. Inner peace allows you to feel the bad, to process the bad, to release the bad, and to move on. The more practice you have with processing your emotions, the easier it will be for you to return to inner peace. The more you heal, the more you can let go.

It’s okay if you don’t know how to process your emotions. A lot of people don’t. Contact me me to learn how to start.
