“‘Emotions show us where to direct our attention. Rather than obscure the path, they can clarify and sharpen it.’ (//) In other words, emotions tell us about what matters to us.”
– Erika Rosenberg, Ph.D., The Healing Power of Meditation
That’s an amazing way to reframe emotions. Rather than being something that needs to be “suppressed” or “changed,” let’s view them as guideposts, showing us what really matters to us 👏
P.S. Because of the breath-emotion link, being mindful of subtle changes in our breath can also show us what matters to us.
