Episode 082 - Embracing your emotions | Self-acceptance mindset 

Have you ever had one of those days where you woke up feeling ‘off’?

Things just maybe aren’t flowing the way you want them to. Or you’re experiencing a big emotion but you can’t quite put your finger on what you’re feeling or why you’re feeling that way?

That was the inspiration for this episode.

It all started a few weeks ago where I woke up feeling decidedly weird. Nothing was outwardly wrong. Nothing ‘bad’ had happened in my life. I just felt strange.

I took my time that day, giving myself a bit of space and grace for what I was feeling and then at a certain point I decided to do something productive - wash the dishes.

And while I was standing at the sink, present with what I was doing and just letting my thoughts come up I had an aha moment.

It is never actually about the emotion.

In this episode, I talk about embracing your emotions with self-acceptance and shifting the stories you’re telling yourself about what your feelings mean. I dive into how to release judgment, honour your emotions and show up for yourself with compassion and openness.

In this episode, I dive into self-acceptance and why it’s not about the emotions you feel but the meaning you attach to them. Here’s what we cover:

✧ Why your feelings don’t define your worth or who you are

✧ The power of noticing the stories you tell yourself about your emotions

✧ How to release judgment around feeling ‘bad’ or ‘off’

✧ The difference between so-called positive and negative emotions

✧ How to meet yourself with compassion when uncomfortable emotions arise

✧ Why all emotions, even the messy ones, are part of self-love and self-acceptance

This episode is a reminder that your emotions are never wrong. It’s always about how you hold yourself through them.
