Listen "Emotional Acceptance and Self Compassion for Emotional Simplicity "
Episode Synopsis
This is the 2nd episode in a 3 part series on Emotional Simplicity. If you haven't listened to the previous one, I'd urge you to go listen to that now.
Today, I’m diving into emotional acceptance and self-compassion with some thoughts inspired by Amanda Blake's "Your Body Is Your Brain." I'll share how society shapes our emotions and why resisting them only makes things tougher.
I invite you to consider your emotions like a colourful palette—letting yourself feel them all can bring so much depth and richness to life. I'll share personal experiences, like dealing with grief and the powerful emotions that come with it, to highlight that it's okay to feel everything without judgment. And we'll chat about how showing yourself some love and compassion can make it easier to navigate those tricky emotions.
So grab yourself your favourite brew and relax as we explore these ideas and get ready for the next episode, where we’ll tackle emotional challenges and decision-making. If you are enjoying this podcast, I'd be so grateful if you would subscribe and leave me a review.
