What are you feeling today at this moment? Can you name your feelings? There are at least two ways to avoid ownership of our feelings
There are many defense mechanisms to avoid feeling our feelings. At first we may blame others when we feel a negative emotion. “You made me angry.” “You wrecked my day.” We abdicate our responsibility by not owning our feelings. We may also avoid feeling our feelings by rationalization. “I feel better when I do not read the paper.” “Don’t feel bad. It happens to everyone.” “This is not my responsibility.” Using rationalization and blame to avoid feeling our feelings is an emotional by-pass! Avoidance instead of acceptance! Escapism instead of being in the moment! Feeling our emotions is not just about feeling good! It is about connecting and being consciousness. Do you allow yourself to feel all your feelings or are you sedated by your emotional by-passes? Copyright . 2012 by Shervin Hojat
