Our society promotes a ton of behaviors that make us avoid or ignore our feelings. 

Sometimes it is our job that influences how emotions are handled. First Responders experience this daily. My guest today, Craig K., a former police officer, chats with me about how imperative it is to address your feelings, even when it is uncomfortable.

Uncomfortable feelings can be scary, but what we know now, is that they also have value.

As we continue to talk about feelings this month, one thing has become apparent...
Feeling feelings can be an inconvenience. End of Story.

We are really digging into this months topic...Feelings.

My guest in this episode, Robin Lovell, purposefully and honestly, makes the connection between the power of our feelings and the responsibility we have to be true to ourselves.

Touchpoints:
Personal Responsibility: If you are unhappy with yourself, the way you show up in the world, your self defeating inner monologue, or the way you interact in a relationship; you owe it to yourself to grow.

Grounding/Emotion Connection Techniques:

• Meditation
• Prayer
• Journaling
• Yoga
• Exercise
• And my all time fav, screaming in the car!

Speak your truth in a kind and loving way, give the other person the dignity to respond (however they need) Remember that you are only responsible for speaking your truth, not the other persons response.

Admit it...facing your feelings is HARD! I get it. Sometimes it is easier to just run away, not deal  with anything and try to go on with your life.  I assure you that there is a better way!

Get a pen and paper and let's really talk about how learning to process your feelings is absolutely necessary to level up your State of Mind.

Join me, it 's going to be fun!
