Your emotions are a part of your incredible human experience. Honor them, for they are as real and significant as you are. 🌿💚

🙌🏻 Here ya go, I’m just going to drop this right here. 🤗 There’s a lot to be said about this, but to be honest I just woke up at 2pm after working 2 12 hour overnight shifts and my brain isn’t exactly firing on all cylinders yet 😂 Might turn this topic into a blog post later, idk. In all honesty, hoping to hear back from you all on where you stand with the “feelings aren’t fact” and “all feelings are valid” conversation. For me I feel like there is definitely a happy middle, but the raging cognitive dissonance I experience with these two concepts is unreal at time 😂 So… lay it on me! • • • • #feelings #feelingsarefeedback #feelingsarevalid #feelingsarentfacts #inmyfeelingschallenge #soberthoughts #sober #sobriety #emotionalsobriety #sobercommunity #recoverycommunity #addictionrecovery #mentalhealthrecovery #recoveringalcoholic #cognitivedissonance #sobermovement #sobermotivation #soberinstagram #recoveryworks #sobersupport #wedorecover #friendsofbillw #alcoholicsanonymous #soberliving #soberlifestyle #recoveryposse #emotionsmatter https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBb-zJuf_S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Allow Yourself to Feel Your Feelings https://legomars.blogspot.com/2020/12/allow-yourself-to-feel-your-feelings.html

always told me “Your feelings are valid”. Whether I was happy about a new job or I was dragging blades across my skin. He never invalidated my emotions, no matter how far apart they were spread on the spectrum. I think there is power in that. I hope someone reading this, whether they got a new job, or...wherever they may be, I hope you know your feelings are valid dear.

Sometimes I will tell people about my achievements or something I've been through. When I talk to them, I am trying to convey my pride, because I feel good about getting past obstacles. I feel good about challenging myself through new opportunities. Some usually think I'm playing some victim role, or I'm trying to be a show off. When I notice their reaction I get this feeling of shame and embarrassment so I retreat back to forgetting and to hiding parts of me. I am not doing that anymore. I want to feel good about who I am and where I come from. I want to share the stories that have made me, me throughout all these years. No shame. No regret. No hiding.
