If you are ashamed of how you feel, disappointed in how you feel, or believe your feelings aren’t worthy, I’m here to encourage you to never dismiss those low feelings that make a visit to us at times.
It’s during these times of lowness, depression, sadness, and loneliness that we need to acknowledge our feelings, accept our feelings, and let them be.
We don’t need to try to force these feelings away or make a big deal out of them. We also don’t need to always try to understand why we feel certain emotions or explore them in dire details. Sometimes it’s okay to simply feel low.
Cherish these moments that serve as a reminder to love yourself, be kind to yourself, honor yourself, and be gentle with yourself. Whatever you do, never dismiss your feelings, and never allow others to dismiss or belittle your feelings.
Feel the feelings, and let them pass. It is critical during these times that we remember all of the people and things (intangible and tangible) that we can be grateful for. It is gratitude that can help bring us out of dark and low moments with a swiftness. Keep naming things you are grateful for until you feel emotional relief.
