Listen to your Heart!

šŸ“£ Listen Up šŸ“£

Hereā€™s the thing about feelings, they all matter and they exist for a reason.

Many of our emotions are protectors, they fight to keep us safe.

Others are sirens šŸšØ, they alert us that we have a need that is being unmet.

Often times we confine ourselves to one end of the emotional spectrum. The other end, we either ignore or resist.

Today, I challenge you to embrace the entire spectrum of emotion and listen to your šŸ’œ.

Looks like this:

1ļøāƒ£ Listen to the feeling: ā€œOk anxiousness, I feel you, Iā€™m listening. What are you trying to tell me?ā€

2ļøāƒ£ Honor the feeling āž”ļø Identify the need: ā€œAh, big meeting coming up. Iā€™m intimidated. You are trying to protect me from the pain of failure, embarrassment and/or disappointment.ā€

3ļøāƒ£ Respond to the feeling: ā€œThis is happening and I still have to push forward. What do I need? I need to prepare and I need validation. Iā€™ll be sure to put together a solid presentation, have extra notes, consult with colleagues, and get some extra love and support from my people so that I can be cool, calm, & confident. Thank you for alerting me, Iā€™m OK.ā€

Itā€™s true, emotions make you cry sometimes, but at the end of the day, they are our biggest advocates.

Tune into them all.
