“Ignoring, dismissing, or suppressing your emotions doesn’t get rid of them; it buries them. It tucks them away to fester and arise again at a later time. When you recognize and validate your emotions instead, you strip away the judgment – the “I’m bad,” “this is wrong,” or “I shouldn’t” responses – and allow your experiences to flow through you. It helps you quell the inner critic and live a more present and enjoyable life.”
