Allow
The flow
Avoid
The fight
When our emotions come on strong allow them to come through, see what it is they are teaching you. Stopping the emotions only hinders progress, pushes back the healing process. We need to be able to express our emotions in a healthy way. Speak to the emotion as if you would your best friend. Do this with as much love as possible. Be gentle with yourself as this takes practice and time.
Over the years, I have built up a lot of extra unnecessary baggage. Old ways of thinking, toxic people, and circumstances that caused me a lot of emotional pain. Why I held on to so much negativity, impure thoughts, hurtful feelings, actions of others towards me—this I will never know.
You can achieve emotional freedom once you are able to take a step back, pause and reflect rather than react. It is easy to get frustrated and down on yourself while going through this process of transformation.
God knows the weight of your burdens. He wants you to give it all up to Him. Yes, I said, EVERYTHING!
Make confessions, cry, pour your heart out, repent, ask for forgiveness, write and reflect in a journal, engage in a heartfelt and meaningful conversation with a trusted friend. One needs to be heard, have feelings validated, know they matter and that they are not alone in this world.
Allowing the flow to happen provides more peace within your heart, mind and soul rather than having your guards up, ready to fight a battle, a war that’s not yours to fight. God, He fights our battles. Make space for Him in your life and begin to watch all the miracles unfold before you!
