120+ Quotes About Feelings and Emotions | Feeling Quotes
“What you resist persists.” – Carl Jung
If you try to push away your feelings and live in a state of denial, then it’s just going to be worse when you finally do feel it. If you numb yourself, you’re only putting off the bad feelings until a later time.
It’s better to feel them in the present (when it’s safe to do so).
So let yourself feel the feelings. Feel the sadness, feel the hurt, feel all of the emotions you’ve been carrying.
And let it go. Breathe into the feeling.
And slowly, slowly, the feelings will start to dissolve.
At first, you might feel worse. Maybe you’ll wish you could go back to filling the void with anything except this emotion.
But this is part of being human, all these emotions. There are good days and bad days. One cannot exist without the other.
You’re allowed to feel sad and have negative emotions. You don’t have to be happy all the time (or pretend to be).
Sometimes when we’re in the middle of growing in some way it just feels painful and uncomfortable, and we wish we could go back to the way things were. But nothing lasts forever. Impermanence is the only thing guaranteed in life.
So when you’re happy, be happy, and when you’re sad, be sad.
Sometimes it’s hard not to wish that the good times would last a lifetime or to resist the painful times and refuse to see the truth of a situation.
But the sooner you accept reality, the sooner your reality can change. If you’re stuck wishing things were different or forcing things to work that shouldn’t, you’re going to make yourself very unhappy.
But if you can accept the ways things are while still working toward your goals and gently pushing yourself to improve, day after day, you’ll find that it’s only a matter of time before the reality in your dreams matches up with your actual reality.
