The hardest thing about emotions? We’re taught to run from them.
Pain? Numb it. Sadness? Cheer up. Anxiety? Just think positive. Grief? Move on.
Therapists say sitting with your emotions is how you heal. But no one tells you how to do that.
So here’s where you start:
🖊 Name it—Instead of saying, “I feel awful,” say, “I feel anxious, lonely, overwhelmed.” Naming it makes it smaller.
🌊 Find it in your body – Emotions aren’t just in your head. Do you feel it in your chest? Your throat? Your stomach? Put your hand there. Breathe into it.
🧘 Stop fighting it – You don’t have to like how you feel. But what if you just let it be? What if you didn’t try to change it, just for a moment?
💬 Offer yourself compassion – If a friend felt this way, what would you say? It’s okay to feel this. You’re not broken. You’re allowed to take up space.
⏳ Give it time – Feelings don’t last forever. You don’t have to rush through them. Just sit. Just stay. Just breathe.
Your emotions aren’t here to hurt you. They’re here to be heard.
And the moment you stop running? They finally stop chasing.
