Episode 173: Solo - How to Embrace Your Emotions Like a Boss

Quote: "The only way out is actually through."

Summary:

In this episode, we delve into the art of embracing our emotions, especially during the holiday season when gatherings with family and friends can trigger strong feelings and reactions. We discuss the importance of acknowledging and processing our emotions rather than intellectualizing or bypassing them. This episode introduces five key strategies that have helped me navigate through my emotions, such as allowing time for intentional feeling, using practices like Breathwork and boxing to release pent-up emotions, and practicing self-nourishment to soften the nervous system. 

 

In this episode I talk about…

• Acknowledging and processing emotions during the holiday season

• The importance of feeling emotions rather than intellectualizing them

• The concept that the only way out is through, and the dangers of emotional suppression

• Using intentional practices like Breathwork, boxing, and dancing to release emotions
