September Daily Practice Wrap Up: Feel How You Feel - Donna Higton - life coach and author
It's time to wrap up this month's Daily Practice. Did you join in? Did you make a conscious effort to allow yourself to feel how you feel? What did you notice? Here are my top 5 noticings from this month of feeling how I feel: 1 - If you don't feel the good emotions, you'll lose your mojo! 2 - The feeling I tend to suppress the most is sadness. I don't like being sad, so I tend to try to ignore it and get happy (but there's an undercurrent of sadness until I allow myself to just be sad :-( !). 3 - When I really pay attention to how I feel, and allow myself to feel it fully (where appropriate), the feeling moves on so much more quickly. If I ignore feeling tired or fed up or sad or cross or impatient, the feeling lingers, undermining everything I'm trying to do. 4 - I get more done if I am honest with myself about how I feel. Particularly when I feel tired, I tend to soldier on, being utterly inefficient and making myself miserable. If I take a few minutes to rest, I can come back to everything I've really 'got to do' with renewed vigour...and often I realise that the tasks I thought I 'had to' do aren't really that important - certainly not more important than my health! 5 - If I'm feeling a 'low' emotion - sadness, frustration, anger for example, I most often write it out. If I'm feeling good, I most often sing or dance. It's fun to switch that around every now and again and dance out the 'low' emotions and write about the highs. I would love to hear your noticings about this month's Daily Practice - please leave a comment below. Love Donna.x
