We have so many rules about dealing with
our feelings.
Think about it.
They are designated as age related - it's
okay to feel certain things until you are X years old…
They are designated as gender related -
it's okay for women to feel certain things and men others…
They are designated as relationship related
- our feelings are supposed to be based on specific relationships… it's only okay
to feel certain things for certain people…
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS
An opportunity to
experiment with some fun ideas…
THE ONLY 3 TRUE
RULES!
1) Tune
in! Figure out what you are actually
feeling. Use sensations in your body as
a clue if you are not sure - tension, flutters, holding your breathe - all of
these are indicators that something is going on.
If you are still not
sure you can have an imaginary conversation with the bodily sensation, e.g.: "Hey, stiffness, what are you trying to
tell me?" And then listen to the
answer. You can have some fun with this
one!
2)
Feel it! Breathe deeply and allow yourself to go with
the feeling.
3) Decide and Strategize. Ask yourself what you want to do about what
you are feeling. Sometimes sharing it
brings more intimacy - if it's with someone you can trust! Sometimes sharing it fits into the category
of TMI! Use your judgment.
