Your Feelings Are Valid! Don’t Qualify Your Emotions
Take up more space! Please!
I catch myself qualifying my feelings all the time. “I’m a little bit upset” or “I just wanted to say.” Thankfully I’m at a place where I catch it (most of the time!) when it’s happening and correct my language on the spot.
I think working with this process is
Creating awareness around when we’re doing it. Catching it, and
Learning to take a deep breath and eliminate the qualifiers (unless they accurately represent how you’re feeling!).
It’ll be uncomfortable- because doing new things always is. But that doesn’t mean it’s wrong, or you should stay small.
Sit with that for a while.
What are your thoughts? How do you qualify your feelings?
