Sometimes we repress and hold our feeling for so long that the emotions end up hurting us, curtailing our growth, and preventing us from having real emotions. When we don’t allow ourselves to feel our emotions because we fear criticism or being seen as weak or helpless, we block out important and positive emotions and prevent ourselves from having a healthy and balanced life. No one has it all together all the time, and we need to give ourselves permission to be human and allow our feelings to surface and not feel ashamed of them. Emotion is energy, and sitting with your emotions, holding them back, and not letting them out allows them to build up and can lead to depression, drug abuse, and more.
Some days will not be great, and you will only sometimes have the best days or feel your best all the time. That is okay, and it's how life is for everyone. We all have positive and negative emotions, and expressing them allows you to be human. Holding your emotions, even the positive ones, can cause physical and emotional harm. If we express our emotions properly and responsibly, it can help us be more healthy, happier, and more self-aware. It doesn’t matter where you are, your past, your childhood, or your circumstance. Expressing your emotions will never hurt you. It will only lead to a better life that is more authentic to who you truly are.
Join the conversation with your host Tommy as he shares more about emotions, how to express yourself properly to improve your life, and some personal experiences he has been through. It’s okay not to be okay, it’s okay to have bad days, we all do, and it’s life, but what you do with it, how you sit with it, how you deal with it, is what matters. Being able to express your emotions and letting them out is not just about feeling better; it's about being human.

Self-acceptance is the key to self-esteem. It is the ability to love oneself unconditionally and fully. It is a journey that takes time and commitment.
The path to self-acceptance and raising self-esteem begins with acceptance of who you are now, not what you think you should be or what you want yourself to be. How we talk to ourselves is a major factor in our ability to accept and love ourselves. The more we learn to accept our flaws, the less pressure we will feel when trying to meet perfectionistic standards.
Join this conversation and get the motivation from my story on struggles with self-acceptance. Self-acceptance is the key to feeling good about oneself, and it starts with making sure that we are not comparing ourselves to others.

Notable Quotes

Self-talk can be positive or negative. Self-talk can talk you into problems or out of situations. Having a positive dialogue with yourself can help you work things out before you act on them, communicate with others, and put yourself in the right frame of mind. Cultivating positivity doesn’t mean negativity will not show up on your way. It will, but this will help you get past it and shift your mindset. Allowing negative thoughts to take control can derail you, make you depressed, or even suicidal. Practicing a positive mindset is not easy, but doing it consistently and being aware of negative thoughts when they show up will help you act on a positive line.
In this episode, you will learn about self-talk, how to live in the moment, and how to shift your mindset through self-awareness, meditation, and positive self-talk. Positivity is not natural, nor negativity. We create them by choosing our thoughts to grow and manifest. Being aware of negative thoughts and switching to positive thoughts early will help cultivate a healthy mindset.

Goals are meant to be a stepping stone to success. They give you something to work towards, measure your progress, and help you identify what needs improvement. A goal without a deadline is a dream that might not come true. Set an achievable, realistic goal with clear deadlines so you can see your success in the near future.
