Why are these card decks important? They are important because everyone worries and you are not alone! Being human is having lots of emotions which we think of as “good” (happy, joy, excitement, confidence, and calm) or “bad” (fear, anger, sadness, grief and guilt). But consider this: what if there are no “bad” emotions? Yes, I know, there are emotions that make us feel pain, heartache, discomfort, and an overall icky (to use a very technical term :)) feeling and that feels very bad! But what if all emotions are important and are trying to tell us something?
When we don’t know what that something is or we know but don’t know how to change it, we can choose to push down or distract ourselves and the feelings “come out sideways”. That may look like this:
We may…
-create long to-do lists and make ourselves busy
-over sleep or can’t sleep well (trouble falling, staying asleep or early morning waking)
-overeat/make poor food choices or can’t eat at all due to stomach upset
-drink too much alcohol to relax or forget
-exercise too little because we have no motivation or energy or too much because we have anxious energy to burn
Is this true for you? Would you like to learn how to make another choice and directly address your emotions in order to become aware, move through and finally let them go? If yes, please read on…
