Since Feeling is First

There are Self Esteem and Stress Relief Benefits of Expressing your True Innermost Feelings

Feelings are so important to our mental hygiene and even our physical health. We often put a strict filter on how much we allow ourselves to express what is burning within us. Since there is a phrase that says Feelings Buried Alive Never Die, burying the hatchet and taking the risk to say what you love, first breaks barriers to communication and frees the soul.

Balance lives in the Intention behind your Self Expression.

 Words and their power emit from the intention placed behind them. A paradigm shifts when you pause to say “I feel..” instead of “You do this to me…” Taking a conscious approach to living is by making intentionally simple statements that are clear. Remember, statements are made by much more than just using words. As such, a silent protest, or the loud thunder of the silent treatment, has to hear itself. It will elucidate some barriers to communication that we may unconsciously hold up as defenses. Make positive the cause to lift and let go of fear in our interactions with others and have the hard talk with the intention to be sincere and fair.

Personal Freedom and Health in the psyche and spirit come from practicing Authenticity.

 Becoming a well-defined, fully self-expressed, and engaged individual, the ability to function increases, therefore the conditions for living in psychological integration and balance are set. By first loving and accepting oneself fully, authenticity is allowed to stretch out and grow freer from outside pressures and social barriers. How authenticity is roused to life through some playful spontaneity for enjoying and celebrating your personality, coaxing hidden wounds gently and embracing your personal sensitivities, as you become conscious of “self-climes” like your moods, needs, and feelings. By withstanding discomfort over your insecurities, self-consciousness, and vulnerability to allowing yourself to express clearly what is on your mind, and loving oneself for, can even help you be proud of your shadow.
