Emotional awarness

We’re fine.

How are you doing?

Great! How about you?

Same here.

Most of us keep it light.

We try to move on, be polite, but at the same time, we’re not really having a conversation.

I remember when I barely spoke English, but someone told me, "It’s okay - no one really speaks; everyone just chats."

This kind of communication is important. It’s part of being in a group, meeting new people, and just chilling.

The only problem is when it becomes the main kind of communication.

My point is, if you avoid meaningful communication with yourself, you might lose touch with your own feelings and start acting unconsciously - ignoring your own truths.

Over long periods, this can lead you to a place you never wanted to end up in.

Inner dialogue is a necessary step toward understanding your own needs, wishes, and dreams on a deeper level.

Identifying how you feel and giving it the right label are two different stages.

We are in a phase of "if you don’t use it, you lose it." When we don’t use certain words, we tend to forget them - but the feelings don’t disappear.

So, I invite you to use the following tool to help gently refresh your memory. I’ve included the amazing work of Dr. Gloria Willcox here:
