Practice #5: It Makes Sense that You Feel…
"Once you've finished the practice in the book, take a moment to:
- Pause and Breathe: After journaling, take a few deep breaths and give yourself time to simply be with whatever feelings came up. Sometimes, just sitting with your emotions without judgment can be incredibly grounding.
- Integrate Your Insights: Reflect on what you’ve learned from this practice. How could you carry this awareness with you throughout your day? Setting timers in your phone with labels to remind you to check in with yourself and offer, “It makes sense that you feel…” can empower you to navigate challenging emotions with grace and control.
- Practice Self-Compassion: If you uncover any resistance or challenging feelings, remember to offer yourself some kindness. Place a hand on your chest and say something like, “I’m doing my best, and it’s okay to feel this way.”
- Move Your Body: Sometimes, emotions feel stuck in the body, so consider going for a walk or doing some gentle stretching. Gentle stretching can help release any tension or stress that might have come up during the practice, improving your physical and emotional well-being.
- Revisit: Over time, you might notice patterns in how you respond to certain feelings. This can be a powerful tool to deepen your self-awareness and continue to build a healthier relationship with your ego self. Stay committed to this journey of self-improvement."
