Mental Strength Doesn't Require You to Ignore Your Emotions

Mental strength doesn't require you to ignore your emotions.

Increasing your mental strength isn't about suppressing your emotions; instead, it's about developing a keen awareness of them. It's about interpreting and understanding how your emotions influence your thoughts and behavior. Amy Morin

I ended my subscription to the "strong women don't cry" club. It's up! I quit that shit!

I know I am strong, and hiding my emotions will not take that strength away

Where did that notion come from anyway?

Who sold me that?

Well, it's a new day because hiding my emotions is just plain ole stoopid! It eventually breeds resentment

Hiding my emotions for what? to prove to who that I am strong?

Newsflash to self: You strong boo!

As usual, it's all about balance, what are we doing with these emotions and what are the behaviors surrounding them? Emotions are guides, that's it.

Peace
