Has anyone ever told you “You’re too emotional?” 

Is it usually when there is a confrontation happening?

How do you respond? Does it shut you down? Do you stop talking because you were called ’emotional’?

What would happen if you would respond by saying, “yes, I am emotional!”?

All too often I hear people talk poorly about being emotional. As I always say, your emotions are your indicators. They are letting you know something is being pressed against here. Typically, it is usually a boundary.

See ’emotional’ is a feminine energy. And we live in a masculine energetic society. We are praised when we are ‘doing’ rather than when we are ‘being’.

We are human ‘beings’, not human ‘doings’.

We all have emotions. And you know what, you are allowed to feel your emotions! And also, you get to express YOUR emotions. 

The person who is saying “you’re too emotional” is uncomfortable with the emotion you are feeling. They are trying to avoid having to witness someone experiencing an emotion they themselves are trying to reject and suppress.

I encourage you to start to understand and observe your emotions without judging them. What are they trying to tell you? This here lies so many answers that never gets address. Your emotions came up for a reason. Listen to them!

Much love, 

Trudi
