Do you have something to say but bite your tongue instead?
Throughout your day, your relationships and experiences, you can get provoked. We all can!
But do you say anything when this happens?
By not saying anything, you think you’re doing the right thing … avoiding a conflict, not upsetting the other person, “picking your battles”.
Yes, it’s true that sometimes it makes more sense to keep your mouth shut because the view isn’t worth the climb. However, in most cases, it is in your best interest to say something.
It is a known fact that if you bottle it up, and don’t express how you feel, it will result in blocked energy. As a result, your mind, body and emotions will react to what’s you’ve denied expression.
By not speaking your mind, you become resentful, angry, anxious, depressed, frightened … it can have all kinds of effects on you. This is because it’s emotional energy that builds up within.
Emotional energy that is not processed and released gets “stuck” in the body and becomes a block … a barrier to your flow.
You do want to flow don’t you?!
When you repress your feelings, instead of express them, it blocks the energy to your heart, to who you are, to others and, ultimately to a higher power.
It’s important to take time to express your feelings … the good , bad and the ugly. Although, I use these terms lightly because it is my firm belief that there is no distinction. Rather, feelings are just feelings and it’s a grave mistake to label them good or bad because, when we do so, we are predisposed to repressing the so-called “bad” ones. This ultimately leads to repressing all feelings because the truth is … you can’t discriminate as to which feelings your will and won’t feel!
What are you holding back or feeling that you haven’t discussed with someone? Do you have a relationship that is blocked somehow?
What are you feeling? What are you really feeling?
Ask yourself this question as often as possible then listen to the answer. Whatever comes up, take time to feel, process and release whatever comes up … a thought, emotion or belief.
Give yourself a voice … because when you do, you also claim your personal power!
What do you need to voice today?
Hugs … because everyone could use one!
