Today's thought from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:Leaving Room for FeelingsWe need to allow enough room for others and ourselves to have and work through our feelings.We are people, not robots. An important part of us - who we are, how we grow, how we live - is connected to our emotional center. We have feelings, sometimes - difficult ones, sometimes-disruptive ones, and sometimes-explosive ones that need to be worked through.By facing and working through these feelings we and others grow. In relationships, whether it be a love relationship, a friendship, a family relationship, or a close business relationship, people need room to have and work through their feelings.Some call it "going through the process."We need time to work through feelings. We need the space and permission to work through these feelings in the awkward, uncomfortable, sometimes messy way that people work through feelings.This is life. This is growth. This is okay.I can set reasonable boundaries for behavior and still leave room for a range of emotions.
