Emotional By-Pass

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?

How do I feel?

With my hands and think with my brain. ;-)

My friend, unless I burn out, the only way to view the real world at this moment is exactly that, and most needed, and no I don't not know the impact, but I will be useless to myself and others if I don't, but thank you for reminding me, bless ya,
