Be aware of how you feel

What happened today? How did you feel about it?

Just like all those stuffed feelings from childhood that we could not deal with then, any feelings that we repress or deny today don’t go away. They linger in our energy field until we give them their due. Sometimes these repressed feelings block our view of the truth.

For many of us, resisting our feelings is an ancient pattern and a habitual way of life. Take your time to debrief from your day, but don’t just say what you did and what you liked. Say how you felt about each thing that occurred.

You might make a discovery that surprises even you. You don’t necessarily have to tell the other person how you feel, but you might. For certain, you at least need to tell yourself.

Today is just a simple reminder of something you already know. Be aware each day of what happens. And be aware of how you feel.

God, help me remember that it’s okay to be who I am and feel what I feel, no matter what those feelings are. Remind me when I believe my feelings are a nuisance that they’re the key to my power.
