And That's Okay! Understanding and Validating Emotions

Today’s episode is all about understanding and validating our emotions. So often, we’re taught to brush off our feelings or push them aside. But in reality, every emotion we experience is valid …and that’s okay! Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or even just a bit down, it’s important to recognize that those feelings are real and deserve your attention. 

Here are three key points from today’s episode:

1. Emotions Are Signals:
   They’re not something to be ashamed of or ignored. They’re vital cues that help us navigate our lives…And that’s okay!
   
   
2. Validate and Acknowledge:
   By validating your feelings, you’re not giving them power over you; you’re simply giving yourself the information you need to move forward in a healthy way…And that’s okay!
   
   
3. Action Steps:
   Pause and acknowledge your feelings, journal them, and practice self-compassion…And that’s okay!

Remember, it’s not about being perfect or never feeling negative emotions. It’s about understanding that whatever you’re feeling is part of your journey …and that’s okay!
