#013: Stop Judging Yourself for How You Feel

Have you ever felt like your life is objectively good… but you still have moments where you feel frustrated, tired, sad? And then you start judging yourself for it? 🤔In this episode, I explore the tension of feeling grateful for your life while also moving through frustration, sadness, or uncertainty, and why those emotions don’t cancel each other out.So many of us have been conditioned to override how we actually feel. To stay positive, to focus on what’s good, to remind ourselves how lucky we are.And while gratitude IS powerful… it doesn’t mean that our other feelings aren't valid. Multiple things can be true at once.You can be grateful and struggling. You can be supported and still feel stuck. You can recognize the good in your life and still feel frustrated by where you are.Both can be true.This episode is a reflection on learning to stop judging your emotions… and instead allowing yourself to actually experience them... because that’s what lets you move through them.Not by forcing positivity, or by suppressing what’s uncomfortable... but by being honest about what’s there.You're not wrong for letting yourself feel.==========Keep exploring 🌍austenletourneau.com ==========
