FEELINGS:
~
Why do we struggle so with our feelings? Why do we work so hard to
deny our emotions, especially concerning other people?
In the course of a day, we may deny we feel frustrated in reaction to
someone who is selling us a service.
We may deny that we feel frustrated, angry, or hurt in reaction to a
friend.
We may deny feelings of fear, or anger, toward our children.
We may deny a whole range of feelings toward our spouse or our
significant other.
We may deny feelings provoked by people we work for, or by people
that work for us.
Sometimes the feelings are a direct reaction to others. Sometimes
people trigger something deeper – an old sadness or frustration.
Regardless of the source of our feelings, they are still our feelings.
We own them. And acceptance is often all that is necessary to make
them go away.
We don't have to let our feelings control our behavior. We don't have
to act on each feeling that passes through us.
It does help to talk about our feelings with someone we trust.
Sometimes we need to bring our feelings to the person who is
triggering them. That can breed intimacy and closeness. But the
most important person we need to tell is ourselves. If we allow our
feelings to pass through us, accept them, and release them, we shall
know what to do next.
