Often we are told to bury our emotions or push them aside as to not recognize them.  Yet, emotions are part who we are as human beings.  To not honor our emotions is like not honoring that we breath or can think.  The key is not to be controlled by our emotions.  Rather, when an emotion occurs, take the time from the event that triggered the emotion to ask yourself what you were feeling.  And then feel it.  What does it tell you?  Feeling angry or jealousy or hurt is not telling you that you should seek revenge.  Instead, why do you feel those emotions and feelings? Walk through your belief systems to understand what is triggering the emotion.  And then let it evolve into something new.  Feel it, then set the emotion free.  Then you can achieve your goal.

    Thank you Gary,I struggle with showing or accepting the emotions I am exeperiencing at the moment. You are so right that you need to feel what I’m feeling and then let it go. I have help on the feeling for days without expressing what I dealing with. I think you for the discussion on this topic.

    This is so very important. “Buried Feelings Never Die”, great book, and great truth. They cause a world of trouble physically and emotionally. Feelings are energy and they get stuck in our being,when not expressed. Thank you for sharing this.
