It's A Ride

“Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully."

~ Phillips Brooks

Life is like a roller coaster ride. We experience highs and lows, then we get tossed around and upside down. We scream, laugh, cry and wait for it to end. When it’s done, we may feel relief and excitement. It can be a positive or negative experience depending on how we think about it.

Living in the present moment and feeling our emotions as they show up with courage and confidence that they are just vibrations in our body. The emotion is the roller coaster ride. Be curious and notice what you’re feeling and where you feel it in your body.

Is it hot, cold, stabbing, light, heavy, paralyzing or energizing?

When we allow the emotions, we can manage how we respond to them. When we push the emotion away because we don’t like it, we give it more power. Every emotion will return.

Take anger for an example: we don’t feel good when we’re angry. We say terrible things about life when we’re angry, which fuels our anger. If you can recognize your anger and simplify it with a true and easy sentence like, “I don’t like that”, “I don’t want this”, giving yourself permission to walk away knowing you don’t have to hold on to anger. You’re over-powering the negativity of anger with self care.

We will always experience things we don’t like and have an opportunity to decide how we want to be during our challenges. Give yourself permission to take the time to feel the emotion and ask yourself, “What would your wisest self do?” You might find you’re more capable than you ever imagined.

You’re rewiring your brain and changing your old patterns that didn’t serve you.

When you're stuck in a negative emotion and don’t know how to get past it, get coached. I can help you redirect your old way of responding to a new pattern of empowerment!
