I am slowly learning to sit with my feelings. I still find it very difficult at times, sometimes it's easier to acknowledge the feeling and then let myself move on for a while, because as a beginner I someyimes still feel overwhelmed by my feelings. One step at a time....:)
I find it very difficult too at times, my default still is to shy away. Exactly, one step at a time. Self compassion and being kind to yourself is better than forcing yourself to stay somewhere too uncomfortable x
Beautiful, Jodie. I’ve never heard of RAIN before but I love that concept. I have a really hard time with stewing in my feelings too much and getting caught up in it all rather than feeling them and moving forward. Thank you for sharing this. ❤️
RAIN has been such a huge help, Tara's meditations in general to be honest when it comes to this. I have to force myself to do them at times and face the discomfort, but it's interesting how much it does ease once I acknowledge it! Let me know if you end up trying RAIN and what you think x
Currently reading Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach and this mirrors a lot of the lessons in that book, ones that I’ve been thinking about for days. It’s honestly comforting to know that you still have your ~unconscious~ days even while putting this stuff into practice! I’m just starting out so hearing about another person’s journey is helpful.
Think Radical Acceptance is one of my all time favourite books. Absolutely, I think I'll always have those moments as life changes and new challenges come up!
To me feeling our feelings requires a both a willingness to embrace our sensitivity and a commitment to nurturing resilience. As you’ve shared here it is an ongoing journey with plenty of peaks and valleys: sometimes a struggle, but always a celebration of what it means to be wholly human.
The mind works in weird ways when it comes to that right? Funnily enough I was talking about that very experience this weekend, once you talk about something you tend to see it everywhere... I also find it comforting when I actually sit with those feelings and realise I'm actually starting to befriend myself and meet them with compassion, it's a difficult but comforting feeling at the same time

I love that! I will definitely have to give it a try and let you know! Thank you for the recommendation.

Beautifully put, it definitely takes resilience!
I found your thoughts on it all very inspiring ✨♥️
