You Can Be Angry - Being Honest About Your Emotions Helps You Heal

No longer feel shame or awkwardness of expressing an emotion that is something other than happiness because being angry/sad/depressed/anxious or whatever is healthy & will help you heal from your experience & understand yourself better.

Show Notes:
When you’re depressed or angry or really sad or any emotion that someone would label as far from happy, it can feel like you’re only choice to release yourself from those emotions is to throw yourself into full on happiness or positivity. But it’s FAKE happiness or positivity because you are forcing it, so it’s not really going to work.

And despite the fact that we know this may not solve the real problem, we STILL have people out here telling others to just ‘be happy’ or ‘suck it up’ or ‘you can’t be sad/mad/however you’re feeling because it’s not going to help.’ And THIS is where I needed to step in and make a podcast episode about how that is incorrect.

When we avoid our emotions, we end up delaying necessary healing that would actually provide us with more perspective & understanding of who we are, what triggers us, going deeper on why we react the way we do & what would be the best ways for us to respond to situations that may draw out a lot of emotions. The biggest point is that we aren’t taking the time to honor our emotions & accept that we have emotions for a reason, to express how we feel about what’s happening around us. Why wouldn’t we want to share those or cover those up with fake ones that don’t accurately represent who we are?

And before you get into a thought process of not wanting to be known as someone that gets angry or has depression or any emotion that is not happiness, if that is what you want, you want to be a robot. I promise you, there is NO ONE that is only feeling happy and positive all the time. And if they tell you they are only ever happy or content, they are lying. I will die on this hill. They are lying. 

Everyone experiences up emotions and down emotions and middle-of-the-pack emotions. They just don’t want to tell you that because they haven’t worked on that insecurity yet. And that’s fine. We work on the things we believe are most important and it’s our prerogative. But don’t believe for a SECOND that there are people out there that are ONLY positive. It’s a facade.

So today I wanted to discuss some feelings that actually contribute to your personal healing journey that others may label as ‘bad’ or ‘not right’ or even ‘innappropriate.’ My goal is you understand these feelings are perfectly healthy to experience & should be accepted without shame:

1. Feeling uncomfortable around certain people and needing to end relationships.
2. Feeling unsure and lost in your current season of life & looking for direction.
3. Feeling anger or frustration or sadness or lonliness that feels all of a sudden.
4. Feeling the need to be alone.
5. Feeling worried or anxious about something others deem normal.
6. Feeling sad when things are changing for the better.
7. Feeling hurt or offended or disrespected even when others don’t feel the same.
