Emotional Check-In

Hey, everyone. heart

Sometimes, it is difficult to be present to our emotions and feelings, especially when the emotions or feelings make us uncomfortable or seem very strong, like exhaustion, stress, anxiety, depression, fear, anger, and sadness. Feelings and emotions that we consider pleasant are easier to be present to and tolerate. One way to practice mindfulness is to check-in with our feelings and emotions in the present moment, regardless of whether we find them pleasant or unpleasant.

Remember that we are not our feelings and emotions, and its okay for us to set out the welcome mat for them in this moment. They are simply here, and we are observers of them.

So today, Im going to ask you all to check-in with yourselves and practice mindfulness by asking yourselves, How am I feeling right now? Then, if you feel comfortable doing so, write your answer below. Lets support each other. There is no "right" way to be or feel in this moment.

Right now, I'm feeling anxious. I want to spend today having some time to myself. I want to begin to appreciate and love myself, my family, and my friends. I'm aware of the anxiety coursing through my veins. My arms are cold and tingly. It's not a good feeling. Hopefully, it will pass. Thank you for the check-in.

I feel like having opened a can which was closed for a long time and now I have to see how to manage these things coming out. It was necessary, on one side I feel really good on the other side I have to breathe and breathe. I am getting there, I know.

Thanks for the check-in heart

My feelings, or the layers of the feelings how they surfaced one after one: Confused, empty. Annoyed and disappointed by minor injury. Emotionally tired, drained by being on the top for (what felt like a) long time. Slightly anxious when thinking about the long week ahead.

Hi @EmunahHere . Thanks for this post. I find in this winter period my unpleasant emotions appear more often. I am feeling like spring is a long way off. It is not easy to be patient.

I feel the cool air around my hands and the breath a little bit labored going in and out. I am listening to this and I find this soothing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77ZozI0rw7w

@soulsings

Very nice, and calming too. I listen to Vivaldi's Four Seasons - Spring. That always makes me feel spring is nearby.
