Why You Should Be "Too Emotional"

Episode 222: You may have learned somewhere along the way of life that showing your emotions is not safe.Maybe you were told by your father, ex boyfriend or friends that you were “too sensitive” repeatedly. Maybe there were whispers that you were some “crazy chick” who cried about everything. Maybe you were told to not be so emotional all the time.These comments, especially directed at us in childhood, can cause resistance in our entire spectrum of emotions as we get older. What happens is, you may start to naturally feel sad but you fight it off, doing everything you can to not be that “emotional girl” and you hide away your heart’s truth, confusing yourself and making everyone around you worried that they can't trust you to share how you really feel.When you hide away your emotions, you are hiding away your intuition. The same woman who often tells me she doesn’t know what she likes anymore is the same women who gets mad at herself when she’s having a very “emotional day.”Ironic, yes?If you want to feel what a “yes” is in your body and what a “no” is, you MUST feel your feelings. This is how you become closer to what feels like expansion versus contraction. Both your emotions and your intuition are ways your body speaks to you— but you cannot have one without the other.THIS is what “the feminine flow” really is.
