“Why am I feeling this way?”
We’ve all asked this at some point—on days when anxiety creeps in, when anger feels explosive, or when sadness silently wraps around our hearts.
But here’s the truth: Emotions aren’t here to destroy us. They’re here to guide us.
Just like a postman delivers messages at your door, your emotions are delivering inner truths to your awareness. And yet, most of us label them as bad, unwanted, or even dangerous.
Let’s shift that perspective.
🌱 Emotions Are Clues, Not Curses
Think of emotions as signals on your soul’s dashboard.
- Anger might be alerting you to a crossed boundary.
- Fear might be showing you a place that needs safety or healing.
- Sadness could be inviting you to slow down and let go.
- Joy encourages you to expand and savor life.
When we suppress these signals, we miss out on powerful inner guidance. But when we listen, we start healing.
🧠 Why Do We Resist Feeling? (Hello, Mind Control!)
Modern life often teaches us to “stay positive” at all costs.
While optimism is beautiful, emotional bypassing can be dangerous. When you skip over your real feelings to appear okay, those emotions don’t disappear—they go underground, only to return louder later.
As a counsellor and spiritual guide, I remind my clients that:
“Feeling is healing.”
Your emotions are not blocks; they are bridges.
They bridge you from where you are now… to where your soul wants to be.
🌼 How to Befriend Your Emotions (Not Battle Them)
Here’s a simple 3-step check-in to start:
- Pause and Name It
“I feel anxious right now.”
Labeling the emotion calms the nervous system and brings awareness. - Ask the Message
“What are you trying to tell me?”
Let the emotion respond like a wise friend. Journal if needed. - Compassionate Action
Do you need a boundary? A rest? A difficult conversation?
Honor the need beneath the feeling.
💫 Blending Wisdom with Intuition
Tarot and astrology also reflect this truth beautifully.
Cards like The Moon, Five of Cups, or Temperance show us emotional transitions. They don’t just predict events—they invite reflection.
As I often say in my sessions:
✨ “There are no wrong emotions, only unopened messages.” ✨
Final Words: Let the Message In
The next time a wave of emotion rises, try not to push it away.
Sit with it. Sip tea with it. Ask what it needs.
Because that emotion is not your enemy. It’s your soul speaking in its native language.
And you, my dear reader, are learning to listen. 💖
