[What did I learn today? Lessons on the Journey to Unconditional Self Love] This is how self-trust breaks down.

You get stuck in thinking about what you should feel rather than
acknowledging what you actually do feel. You are left with needs that do
not go away and that you are unable to fulfill. This leads you to believe
that you are not safe in the world, that you make bad choices, that you
cannot have what you desire and that your best efforts will never be good
enough. Iyanla

OMG how many times have I told myself no I don't feel that I should be
feeling "this" - does anyone know what I am talking about? Your feeling is up in your face shouting at you, sometimes slapping you but
you push it away and convince yourself that you should be feeling something
else The feeling is buried alive, it doesn't go away, it manifests itself in so
many other ways including affecting your health This I know for sure Feel the feelings The discomfort is temporary Not feeling the feelings will not change the reality of what happened, it
will not change the past what it will do is have you acknowledge and accept
the situation and deal with it and that is the first step of healing A Course in Miracles says "Truth does not struggle against ignorance, and
love does not attack fear" the truth just is, it cannot be altered and
needs no defence And so the feelings you feel builds self trust, it lets you know that
whatever happens you can handle it you can deal with it and come out on the other side reminding you that
there is nothing to fear, the discomfort is growing pains Feel the feelings Peace
