If You Are Not Speaking It, You Are Storing It.

Healing happens by feeling.

It got me thinking...

I can't help but think about the power of words. We use them every day to communicate with others, but what about the words we don't say? The thoughts and emotions we store away, hoping they'll disappear on their own. Well, I hate to break it to you, but they won't.

If you are not speaking it, you are storing it. We can't just push our feelings aside and hope they'll go away. Healing happens by feeling. It's as simple as that.

As human beings, we are wired to experience a range of emotions, from joy and happiness to fear and sadness. However, sometimes we may find ourselves suppressing our emotions, whether consciously or unconsciously. We may believe that by not speaking about our emotions, we are protecting ourselves or others from discomfort. However, the truth is that by not expressing our emotions, we are actually storing them within us. This can lead to unresolved emotional trauma and negative impacts on our mental and physical health.

One way to heal from emotional trauma is by feeling and expressing our emotions. This may feel uncomfortable or even scary at first, but it is essential for our emotional wellbeing. When we speak about our emotions, we are acknowledging and validating our experiences. This can help us to process and understand our emotions better.

Suppressing our emotions, on the other hand, can lead to negative consequences. When we store our emotions, they can fester and grow, leading to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Moreover, unresolved emotional trauma can impact our physical health as well, leading to chronic pain, insomnia, and other physical symptoms.

The healing process may not be easy, but it is necessary for our emotional and physical wellbeing. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing, but the key is to find a method that works best for you. So, if you're out there storing away your emotions, stop. It's not doing you any good. Find someone to talk to, whether it's a friend, family member, or a therapist. But don't get me wrong, there's a time and a place for everything. You can't just go around spilling your guts to anyone who will listen. You need to find the right people who will listen without judgment and support you through the process.

Don't be afraid to speak your truth. Don't store away your emotions, hoping they'll disappear. Healing happens by feeling, so feel it all. And remember, as the great Maya Angelou once said, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." So, go ahead and tell your story, and watch as the healing begins.
