Allow yourself to feel it all.

Feeling every emotion as it comes will lead you to your success.

What if we decided our feelings meant something. They weren’t something to be ashamed over. It wasn’t a weakness. But it was real. Things we felt deep in our souls.

What if it was ok to be mess. To be in pain and to feel it. Let it pass through us instead of pretending we didn’t feel and letting the pain stay stuck within us. What if it wasn’t all considered a weakness? But a strength to feel the discomfort.

Why are we acting so tough?

What good does that do for us?

It only protects our ego. Because it doesn’t nurture our hearts and souls. It keeps us stuck. In a battle we aren’t winning.

We are so afraid to love or show love and that’s what we are made of, pure love. And it’s ironic. As much as we try to fight what we feel with our minds and our preconceived ideas of what must be, we end up feeling anyway. Even if we think we have it under control we don’t.

Even if we try to halt those emotions. They are still in play. Showing up in places we didn’t choose. Because everything we try to ignore or hide will always have a way of manifesting in some form with or without our knowing.

The feeling is the awareness and it is so crucial to us not letting the past affect us or our hold us back from what we truly know and want to do in this life.

So what if we just allowed ourselves to feel….anything we need to because it’s what we need to feel.

If it’s love. Feel it. It will heal you. Make you happy. It won’t hurt you. An emotion so pure as that, is what we live for.

If it’s sadness and pain. Feel it. Let it pass. So you can empower yourself from the past and make room for more love to enter you❤️😘
