NOTES
-
If you feel regret, ask yourself - what did I learn? We are only afraid to speak up if are afraid of losing him, abandonment, pushing them away, and you don’t feel worthy. Your greatest lesson is to be honest with yourself moving forward. This is the courage you have to have.
-
Where do I feel this in my body?
Why do I feel it there, what is it trying to tell me? (Journal this out)
Write down your fears
Deep breaths, self-regulation, self-soothing, processing your feelings, slow breathing
Ask yourself - what is the story I keep telling myself?
If you’re feeling sad about the past, let yourself have a little cry, then go for a walk or call a friend, and just feel it.
Suppressing difficult emotions = pressure cooker. The buildup of tension is anxiety, grinding teeth, clenching our jaw, etc. And we’re afraid if we feel that we may fall apart. Consider somatics - feeling your body, working through the emotions.
-
Ask yourself - how have I shown up to the situation? Where could it have stated with me?
Awareness of how we show up is important.
You may be afraid of not being enough because you are afraid to fully open.
