72 - Feelings Tour Part 1: Feeling Your Feelings

In this episode, Annaliese and Alan dig into the transformative yet often uncomfortable process of feeling your feelings. Annaliese highlights how becoming emotionally self-aware improves your life in meaningful ways, and that you're capable of slowing down, sitting with your emotions, and learning to notice and name them.

You’ll Hear About:

• How emotions act as signals, pointing to what you might not be seeing clearly in your life. Feeling them starts with being willing to “be in the room” with them.
• Why describing for yourself the physical sensations connected to emotions might seem small, but is a grounding step that helps you normalize and trust your new practice of feeling your feelings.
• The consequences of ignoring your emotions—they don’t disappear but grow louder and more disruptive until you address them.

How to Feel Your Feelings:

1. Give yourself permission. Even if it’s scary or uncertain, allow yourself to feel—it’s a vital part of emotional health.
2. Trust the process. You don’t need to understand or fix anything right away. This is not about your brain making sense of things."Feeling your feelings" is only about letting your body and spirit tell you what they need to.
3. Hold it loosely. Feeling your emotions doesn’t mean solving them. Sit with them, notice what they’re showing you, and let them speak.
4. Engage gradually and daily. It's helpful to picture a faucet where you can adjust the flow of feelings or let them wash over you, knowing you’re capable of processing them. Practice exercising yourself emotionally more regularly this way so you can grow with small, daily steps. 

Why It’s Worth It: Feeling your feelings is what helps you to better understand your experiences, live with clarity, and align your life more authentically. It's a practice that's most effective when you try it daily. Embracing this experience more helps you connect more deeply with yourself and have a more meaningful life.
