Getting thee Feels for The Emotional Staircase

Have you ever found yourself biting back tears?

Or stuffing your painful emotions?

Or wishing you didn’t have to feel anything at all ever again?

Resisting your emotions hurts. It hurts now and it hurts later. It can block your ability to enjoy your life to the fullest.

If you want less pain and more joy in your life, get to know and embrace all your emotions. The whole spectrum or staircase. Choose to get the feels. Get good at mining the gold your feelings and emotions hold for you.

Your feelings arise from inside you and your emotions are your responses to something happening outside of you. All your feelings and emotions are valid and valuable. Your feelings and emotions have news for you.

Close your eyes and allow your breathing to settle.

Center yourself and visualize your emotions and feelings being a colorful staircase. Picture emotional stairs or steps from a basement of awful to open sky amazing. The stairs or steps at the bottom of the staircase don’t feel good like: fear, shame, guilt and anger. The next steps feel slightly less uncomfortable as you work your way to the top of the staircase. In the middle of the staircase you feel emotions like annoyance to irritation to boredom before you reach higher up the emotional stairs to contentment and curiosity. The steps at the top of the staircase feel fabulous like: peace, love, joy and bliss.

Become aware of your emotions and use the way you feel to move up the emotional staircase. Identify and allow what you feel to choose something that feels better for you.

When you feel uncomfortable, upset or unhappy that is information for you to use. Allow yourself to feel the way you do. Next, learn why you feel that way, find the lesson. Then keep the lesson and release the emotion.

Let go of your feelings and emotions to keep healthy energy flowing in yourself.

If you feel upset or unhappy, you are not aligning with who you really are. You are not connected with who you are at your core. Notice where you are on the emotional staircase. Become aware of, allow, learn from and release all your feelings and emotions. After you have released the emotions that block you, choose a better feeling thought to move a step or two up the staircase. You never know what small step will help you feel better.

It is a process of choosing to feel better first and then choosing better feeling thoughts.

When you feel happy or joyful, you are aligning with who you really are. You are close and connected with who you are at your core. Mindfully choose to allow and understand your emotions to help yourself feel better anytime.

Use this simple internal compass of connecting with what feels better and moving away from what doesn’t to connect with more joy. Remember to move up the staircase to help yourself. Joy is your birthright.

Next time you are tempted to numb out your painful emotions or try to forget about them and hope they go away, remember your feelings and emotions hold information for you to feel better. Self-soothe. Be gentle with yourself and choose to feel better. Navigate your way up the staircase of emotions and feelings to more authentic peace, love and joy. Choose your thoughts.

Allow yourself to feel the full spectrum of all your emotions and feelings to free up blocks and feel better fast. Mindfully choose to keep your emotions moving and your body moving to feel more of who you are at your core – beautiful love and light. 

Love On.
