Your brain is giving you anxiety trying to avoid the scenario it made up. Read that again.

It predicting all these bad/scary/sad/annoying scenarios, is as real as it predicting amazing/happy/successful/relaxing/positive ones.

And your brain doesn't know the difference between imagination and reality - meaning, every time you play out all the worst case scenarios in your head - your body is creating and flooding your body with stress chemicals in response to it because it thinks its happening!

If you're going to play fortune teller, why not start making it about the best possible scenario instead of the worst?

Whatever you imagine, your body responds to. Every scenario you run through your mind generates the chemicals in your body, whether that be positive or negative!
Choose consciously 🤍🙏

One of the strangest parts of being human is realizing that many of our deepest desires may not have originated with us.

Long before we had the ability to question anything, we were learning what success looked like, what made someone worthy, and what kind of life was considered "good."

And often, we spend years chasing those inherited ideas without ever asking a simple question:

Do I actually want this?

Some desires are authentic, while others were quietly handed to us.

What belief or desire have you questioned recently? ↓

Everyone talks about self abandonment patterns like people pleasing and emotional suppression in regards to how we interact with the external world, but it's rare I hear anyone talk about the self-abandonment pattern of not being able to sit with yourself or your emotions in regular day to day life.

Having to always be busy, to always be distracted, to always have other people around to fill the time, to need to have a drink or a t**e in order to simply exist - to "take the edge off".

This is another form of self-abandonment that requires recognition and awareness.

When we suppress our negative emotions, we think that's all that we're doing - protecting ourselves from feeling sh*tty things - but by doing this, we are equally cutting ourselves off from being able to feel all of our amazing feelings too.

You don't notice it for a long time. I know I didn't. Then one day you begin to notice that you can't seem to emotionally connect with things that use to bring you great joy. Things just fall flat, or you feel somewhat numb. You're just going through the motions instead of actually living it.

If this is something you recognize in yourself - my page is for you 🤍🙏

Most people talk about the external - when you abandon yourself in response to influence from your external world in relationships (saying yes when you want to say no, having no boundaries, putting everyone else ahead of yourself) - but I have not heard many people talk about the internal version. Where, when an emotion comes up, and we immediately run from it instead of sitting with it. Essentially, it's the same mechanism, it's just reframing our view of it.

It's only by learning how to sit within our own emotional container, that we can create safety within our own body and learn to trust ourselves.
Which, in turn, will allow us to shift our responses to the external influences naturally.

One thing I wish more people understood about emotional suppression is that it doesn't just affect the emotions you don't want to feel.

A lot of us unconsciously believe we can push down sadness, anger, disappointment, grief, or fear while still fully experiencing joy, excitement, love, and connection.

Unfortunately, that's not how it works.
When you get really good at not feeling, you don't just become less sensitive to the difficult stuff. You often become less connected to the good stuff too.

I learned this from experience.
For a long time (my entire life), I thought I was just easy-going, always happy-go-lucky - turns out I was just suppressing the hell out of any “bad/negative” emotions I had and completely neglecting my needs and values to make sure I would never be rejected, too much, or unlovable.

The tricky thing about emotional suppression is that it happens gradually. Most people don't wake up one day and think, "I've become emotionally disconnected." It's much more subtle than that.

If you've been feeling numb, flat, disconnected, or like you're watching your life more than you're actually living it, it might be worth getting curious about what emotions you've been taught aren't safe, acceptable, or welcome.

Sometimes reconnecting with yourself starts there.

Most of us were never taught how to work with and understand our emotions.

We were taught to push emotions down, ignore them, explain them away, or convince ourselves they weren't valid in the first place.

So when emotions finally come out, they often come out sideways - as resentment, people-pleasing, shutdown, anxiety, or an emotional explosion.

Enter the NANER method!

Emotions need to be acknowledged, processed, expressed, and released.

The goal isn't to never feel hurt, angry, disappointed, overwhelmed, or frustrated.

The goal is to learn how to experience those emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them or suppressing them.

Because emotions aren't problems to solve. They're information to work with. And the better we get at listening to them, the more connected we become to ourselves.

So next time you're feeling activated...

NANER naner. 🍌

Which step do you think would be most challenging for you: Name, Acknowledge, Nurture, Express, or Release?

I hate to be the one to tell you, but you can't choose to only suppress your negative emotions.

As you limit your ability to feel bad emotions, you equally cut off your ability to feel genuine, good, blissful feelings.

It's a very slow, quite unnoticeable process, until one day you start thinking... why don't I feel alive or present in these situations that I know I should?

That was me. It took a very long time for me to realize that's what was happening - but now, I'm very much in the process of learning how to feel it all again, and I'm very grateful for that 🤍🙏

When we're triggered by something, we revert back to the age of when what wound began.
When we're in an activated state, it's simply not possible to think logically because we're operating from our limbic brain, or our emotional brain. It functions on a primitive level compared to our neocortex (where logic lives).
We need to recognize those child-like responses within ourselves so that we can start to reprogram them.

Instead of feeling angry at yourself for reacting that way "you always do", come at it with curiosity:
Where is it stemming from? When was this response something that protected you?
