Awakening Heart

The heart awakens when we give
ourselves permission to feel.

Insight

I am learning that feeling is not something I need to control, explain, or push away. Sometimes I simply need to give myself permission to feel what is already there.

It can be easier to stay busy, think things through, or move forward without giving certain feelings much attention. But when I continually set them aside, parts of my emotional life can quietly become frozen.

I am learning that opening my heart does not mean being overwhelmed by emotion. It means making room for what I feel without judgment. I do not need to force my heart to open. I only need to be willing to feel.

Reflection

What might awaken within you if you gave yourself permission to fully feel what is there?
