Embrace Your Emotions: Vicky Midwood's Journey to Emotional Acceptance
Our feelings change every few seconds unless we grab onto them and decide that we're going to fixate on them and start worrying about stuff that's not even happened yet.
Ever felt like your emotions are a mystery, or worse, a burden? Vicky Midwood knows the struggle all too well. In this episode of 'RAW CHATTER!', she opens up about her own journey from emotional suppression to acceptance. Growing up in a family where feelings were rarely discussed and often judged, Vicky learned to bottle up her emotions.
But through years of personal growth and self-discovery, she realized that feelings are just feedback, not something to be labeled as good or bad. Vicky shares candidly about how her parents, and their parents before them, never talked about emotions. This generational silence led to a cycle of self-judgment and misunderstanding. However, Vicky has broken free from this cycle and now uses her emotions as a tool for personal growth.
She encourages listeners to do the same by recognizing and naming their feelings. One of the most practical tips from this episode is the idea of using emojis with emotion names underneath. It might sound simple, but having the right vocabulary can make a world of difference when you're trying to express how you feel. Whether you're talking to a friend or just trying to understand yourself better, knowing the names of your emotions can help you communicate more clearly.
Vicky's message is clear: stop judging your emotions and start embracing them. Our feelings change constantly, and by letting them flow naturally, we can make space for new ones. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to start feeling your feelings and using them as a catalyst for personal development. So grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and tune into 'RAW CHATTER!' for some raw, honest talk about emotions.
