TWO CENT: NOT EVERY FEELING DESERVES AN ACTION.

This is something I'm also learning, and I feel we don't pay enough attention to it. 📌

Not every feeling we experience needs an immediate action.

I've noticed that when we react to everything, we sometimes end up ruining things that could have been handled differently. Speaking from experience. 🥺💔😀

Sometimes, we just need to pause.

We need to learn to step away from a situation for a moment, reflect, pray about it, talk to someone, find a quiet place and let it out.

Write it out, cry it out, talk to ourselves about it, or simply give ourselves some time to process what we're feeling.

Sometimes, all we need is to find a healthy way to let off some steam before addressing the situation.

Because when we allow ourselves to calm down and process things, we are more likely to see situations clearly.

And when we eventually decide to address whatever it is, we can do so from a much more balanced place rather than from a place of anger, hurt, frustration or disappointment.

I'm not saying we should ignore our feelings or pretend things don't hurt. Absolutely not.

I'm simply learning that there is a difference between acknowledging how you feel and allowing how you feel to dictate how you act.

Sometimes, the pause is necessary.

My two cents: Feel it, acknowledge it, process it, but don't be in a hurry to react to everything. ❤️
