the best times to feel our emotions

• After going through stress.

  • Not during a crisis and in public, but in the calm afterwards. When we get home to our safe place.

• Before we sleep.

  • We’ll sleep better if we feel the emotions when they’re fresh.

  • Emotions get their rest from being felt and resolved.

• Without looking at our electronics.

  • Games and social media are fun, but they can distract us when we need to focus.

• When nobody’s judging us or trying to teach us some lesson about life.

  • We need to feel safe and free to do this important work.
