Accept Your Life As It Is

The best way to let go of difficult emotions like stress, sadness, anger, frustration, grief, etc. is to allow our bodies to feel them. Hitting the pause on distraction or invalidation and giving ourselves the space to feel the emotions.

Let Go of Difficult Emotions

Emotions exist whether we want them to or not. Many of us learn to avoid our feelings, to intellectualize them, or to minimize them. Especially when the emotions are negative emotions like sadness, anger, frustration, or anxiety. However, when we learn to sit with these difficult emotions we can move through them and ultimately experience more joy and acceptance in our lives. All emotions are allowed here!

Embrace all emotions, even the difficult ones, to move towards joy and acceptance in life.
