My feelings are allowed to be.

Often we are strict with ourselves. We condemn our feelings. We suppress our feelings. We tend to hide them away before we even know what we are feeling. When we do so, we hide something of value. If we allow our feelings to be, they will change by themselves. Feelings ask for recognition, to be acknowledged. Sometimes we need to express our feelings. Often the acknowledgement in itself is enough for our feelings to be soothed. Place your hands on your stomach. Bring your attention to the area under your hands. Repeat today’s thought. Even if you do not feel much, this gesture of attention is in itself a gesture of returning to yourself. Experiment with this. This will often result in feeling calmer.
