Hello lovely mindfulness community, I wish everyone a peaceful week smileyheart

Let's talk about emotions for a moment

They make us happy but also very sad. We need to feel them, they are part of life. Emotions are not there to hurt us all the time but to make us aware that something is going on inside of us. They want to be heard but they don't want to be our enemies.

So today, I like to invite you to sit with them for a short while every day of this week. Allow them to pass through your body. Be kind and compassionate to your emotions. Do this only for as long as you can bear without struggling too much but try doing it every day, maybe you just start with 2 or 3 minutes and add a little time every day. I find it helpful to put both hands on my heart whilst the pain in going through to create a caring holding environment. heart

After this exercise take a few coloured pens and just draw or paint lines, symbols, whatever comes to your mind to express what you felt or write down any kind of words which come to your mind.

enlightenedI would love to hear how this exercise went for you. Was it very hard, do you find it easier doing it a second or third time?

i drew a cloud over my family's head. Covid has hit our family business pretty hard but I also drew a sun because Our Family creates Styrofoam designs as a living and right now we have huge orders that we are finishing for Easter eggs and crosses… So better times are ahead.

HI Ami thank you for this great check-in. I love how you gently bring the topic of dealing with our "scary" feelings to the community. As many of us have issues and major ones with feelings. heart

enlightenedI would love to hear how this exercise went for you. Was it very hard, do you find it easier doing it a second or third time?

At first I thought it was weirdo lol. As I normally just ignore them as long as my symptoms of my own mental health stuff are not out of control. But doing this allowed to know "they are just feelings" they are not me. Then I had to understans feelings I needed to pay attention to so as to identify the crisis or the need for attention as for change. Not easy at times lol But when I drew lines with crayons I noticed my lines depending on feelings ended up a pretty butterfly, or a smilie face or something positive. How cool is thatcheeky

@RumpleSteeleSkin

It takes a lot of wisdom to realize that feelings come and go and that they are not who we truly are. I love how you ended up with your lines in pretty butterflies and smillies smiley

Hello everyone,

I find this exercise very interesting. We tend to think of just a few very basic emotions or feelings such as angry, happy, sad, afraid. However, there are quite a few more emotions and feelings we deal with. This exercise is helpful to take the time and really identify what it is we are feeling. What emotion exactly I am havign right now? What feeling is it really? Am I angry or am I feeling let down, bitter, jealous, or provoked or hostile? Am I happy or am I feeling playful, accepted, curious, thankful or inspired?

Very informative and helpful exercise. A good way to self-reflect.

Thank you!
