Let’s go back to emotions 101. Your emotions ARE your superpower.  

There are three ways that we naturally deal with them; we stuff them down, we act them out, and we buffer (put something else on top of them like work, sex, tv or scrolling, food or booze, or even thinking a lot!). All of those things make our feelings expand and deepen- like pushing a beach ball down underwater, so that eventually it pops out with a lot of force. 

The only thing that actually works to move through a feeling, is to get curious, and allow the feeling to exist. 

So that’s feelings 101. 

In today’s episode, we’re going way beyond feelings 101. Today we’re talking about expanding the limitations of what emotions we’re capable of feeling, and willing to feel. 

That’s what happens when we increase our emotional capacity.   

Because here’s the deal. 

Sometimes, we SIGN UP for increasing our emotional capacity. 

We do that because we want to put ourselves out there in the world. 

We have an idea we want to make real, a change we want to make in ourselves. We want to grow or expand. When you’re doing that, you’re on two parallel roads of growth. 

In one lane, you’re taking new actions. But right there next to it. On the other parallel track, the other growth is happening. You’re expanding your capacity to feel. 

What you’ll learn on today’s episode: 

• The two new skills you’re building anytime you do something new and different 
• Why expanding emotional capacity is essential to forward momentum 
• The external signs that will tell you clearly when you need to expand your capacity to feel 
• What the payoff is of doing the work to learn to process deeper, harder, darker emotions
