I am allowed to talk about how I’m feeling
It's okay to talk about how you're feeling. In fact, it's more than okay - it's necessary. So often, we keep our emotions bottled up inside, afraid to burden others or appear weak. But the truth is, talking about our feelings can be incredibly liberating and healing.
When we keep our emotions to ourselves, they can fester and grow, becoming overwhelming and difficult to manage. But when we share our feelings with someone we trust, we give ourselves the opportunity to process and release them. We also allow others to support us and offer their own perspectives and insights.
Of course, it can be scary to open up about our emotions. We may worry about being judged or rejected. But the affirmation "I am allowed to talk about how I'm feeling" reminds us that we have the right to express ourselves and be heard. It's a reminder that our feelings are valid and important, and that we deserve to have them acknowledged and respected.
If you're struggling to talk about your emotions, start small. Maybe you can share a little bit with a close friend or family member. Or perhaps you can write in a journal or talk to a therapist. Whatever method you choose, remember that it's okay to take things at your own pace. You don't have to share everything all at once.
As you begin to open up about your feelings, you may find that it becomes easier over time. You may also notice that you feel lighter and more at peace. Remember that you are not alone in your struggles, and that there are people who care about you and want to support you.
So go ahead - say it out loud: "I am allowed to talk about how I'm feeling". And then take a deep breath and start the conversation. You may be surprised at how much better you feel.
