137// You're Not Unhealed, You're Just Emotionally FULL

If you still feel reactive, it doesn't mean you're unhealed. It means youre emotionally full. You're holding onto a lot of stored emotion, unprocessed experiences and a nervous system that is flooded...no wonder you're reactive. You're holding your family together, tending to everyones needs, leading emotionally, trying to stay composed, managing the reactions of others, all while building a purposeful business behind the scenes. You are exhausted. This is why youre reactive. Reacting (ie flying off the handle) is your nervous systems way of releasing all the pressure of those stored emotions. You gotta stop reflecting on all the healing work youve done, thinking it hasnt worked. Thats added pressure you dont need. It nothing to do with that work. This isnt about "healing" its about emptying out. Releasing.  Its about creating internal space, so you can choose to respond to life instead of react to it. Why? Because responding (pausing and choosing) is what will create a spacious and abundant life. Period. Creating internal space drastically reduces reactivity. Creating internal space helps you become the mother, the wife, the business owner, the friend, the whoever you wish to be. "But how do I release?" Glad you asked... FEEL. Feeling IS the release. To empty out our emotions, so they arent creating the pressure in your body, you have to feel them. And you can do this however you like, journal, breathe, exercise, yoga, walking, screaming, meditating...anything, as long as the intention is to empty. When you make this a priority, and you allow the emtying to happen, your life instantly feels more spacious, and from that place you embody the person you desire to be and begin to create the reality you want. So no, you're not unhealed, you're just emotionally full.
