Summary

DO YOU EVER STRUGGLE WITH MIXED EMOTIONS??? For the longest time I had a hard time with AMBIVALENCE. Definition= a state of having simultaneous conflicting reactions, beliefs or feelings toward something/someone. I would get overwhelmed and feel as though one of the two feelings must be bad, so I would stuff down the bad feeling and only hold space for the good one. Then at some later point in life the “bad” feelings would overflow and I would explode! So I wanted to share a little of what I have learned in order to process these mixed feelings better. 1️⃣ Observe your feelings; don’t judge judge them. 2️⃣Pause, take time to reflect & be ok with pausing, don’t panic(easier said than done) 3️⃣Talk or Don’t whatever you feel is best for YOU is important to stick with. This week’s episode of the podcast highlights this concept and some tactical ideas and ways I have broken free from this! I no longer feel chained to these emotions but instead feel empowered to hold both feelings simultaneously 🙏 Hop on in and join for the ride❤️ Looking forward to hearing from you! Many blessings to you all!
