Easy Weight Loss from Janice Taylor, Life, Happiness & Weight Loss Coach, Author, Weight-Loss Artist, Positarian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We\u2019ve all heard that it\u2019s best to feel them\u2014to fully experience them\u2014rather than stuff them down, bury \u2018em deep within.\u00a0 We’re talking about #Emotions!!!<\/p>\n

Why?\u00a0 Because when we suppress our feelings we are simply \u201ctrying\u201d to be happy.\u00a0 And we all know that \u201ctrying\u201d doesn\u2019t cut it.\u00a0 As Yoda so wisely said, ” Do.\u00a0 Or do not.\u00a0 There is no try.”<\/p>\n

When you resist feeling your emotions, you are essentially resisting that “which is,” and fighting that which is a.k.a. reality takes a lot of energy.\u00a0 You are expending this precious energy on suppressing, resisting, fighting rather than living.<\/p>\n

Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> shares with you today 10 quotes to help you to fully get in touch with and feel your emotions.\u00a0 She suggests that you find a comfortable place to sit, read through her hand-picked amazing quotes, breathe, be present, and feel.<\/p>\n

Process your emotions and let them out.\u00a0 And\u2026in so doing, freedom is yours.<\/p>\n

10 Quotes: Feel Your #Emotions<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it… \u2013 Nicholas Sparks<\/p>\n

Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert<\/p>\n

Don’t be ashamed to weep; ’tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us. ~ Brian Jacques<\/p>\n

Emotions, in my experience, aren’t covered by single words. I don’t believe in “sadness,” “joy,” or “regret.” Maybe the best proof that the language is patriarchal is that it oversimplifies feeling. I’d like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic train-car constructions like, say, “the happiness that attends disaster.” Or: “the disappointment of sleeping with one’s fantasy.” I’d like to show how “intimations of mortality brought on by aging family members” connects with “the hatred of mirrors that begins in middle age.” I’d like to have a word for “the sadness inspired by failing restaurants” as well as for “the excitement of getting a room with a minibar.” I’ve never had the right words to describe my life, and now that I’ve entered my story, I need them more than ever. ~ Jaffrey Eugenides<\/p>\n

Joy is but the sign that creative emotion is fulfilling its purpose. ~ Charles Du Bos<\/p>\n

Anger … it’s a paralyzing emotion … you can’t get anything done. People sort of think it’s an interesting, passionate, and igniting feeling \u2014 I don’t think it’s any of that \u2014 it’s helpless … it’s absence of control \u2014 and I need all of my skills, all of the control, all of my powers … and anger doesn’t provide any of that \u2014 I have no use for it whatsoever. ~ Toni Morrison<\/p>\n

I think there is something beautiful in reveling in sadness. The proof is how beautiful sad songs can be. So I don\u2019t think being sad is to be avoided. It\u2019s apathy and boredom you want to avoid. But feeling anything is good, I think. ~ Joseph Gordon-Levitt<\/p>\n

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it’s damn hard to smile. ~ Judith Guest<\/p>\n

The sun always shines above the clouds. ~ Paul F. Davis<\/p>\n

If you keep your emotions locked in a box, then when you want to open it one day you’ll find that they’re gone. ~ M.D. Arnold<\/p>\n
