Day 114: Messengers ✉️

Think of a "negative" emotion you often experience – what is it trying to tell you?

August 22, 2024

Our emotions serve as messengers.

They're trying to convey something important, and our task is to feel and understand them, not resent them for being there.

It took me a long time to realize that the anxiety I often experienced wasn’t something evil or an enemy. Instead, it was like an overly cautious friend trying to protect me because it had seen me hurt before.

When I understood this, I gained better self-awareness and learned to let those feelings go. It requires practice, but recognizing what anxiety was trying to communicate was half the battle.
