Rather than communicate our feelings, it’s tempting to avoid confrontation and let things slide, especially when we anticipate defensiveness or hostility in response. However, allowing emotional baggage to buildup isn’t worth the temporary comfort of avoidance. Repressing our feelings is numbing and causes us to lose touch with our authenticity. It results in growing resentment that can eventually become too difficult to break through. When we express our feelings, we communicate an important message to our subconscious mind that our feelings matter. Making the effort, though difficult, is good for our relationships and ultimately good for…
Ourselves.
