You've probably been told to feel your emotions. But what if you're already feeling too much?
Some people avoid the emotion completely. Others feel so much, it becomes reactive, and they'll say, "but I am feeling. I feel everything."
There's a difference between feeling an emotion and being in the reaction of it.
Try replacing "feel it" with "acknowledge it." Because even when you're already feeling everything, there can still be resistance underneath it, thoughts like "what's wrong with me" or "I shouldn't feel this way." That's still resistance.
The emotion doesn't need more feeling. It needs to be acknowledged.
