Have you ever had the experience of trying not to feel something because you felt it was inappropriate?

For example, in certain situations we may believe it is inappropriate to express anger, sadness, jealously, or any of the so called ‘negative emotions’. The result can be to deny, hide, or stuff our emotions.

When we don’t express and acknowledge our feelings, they end up stuck inside us. This can clog us up!

When I saw Rick Rivet’s paintings I was immediately struck by the expressiveness of his work. He captures so much feeling, it makes me feel emotionally cleansed just looking at it.

Sometimes all it takes to release our own emotions is to see that same emotion expressed through another.

Today, take notice of your feelings. If you find yourself stopping your natural expression in anyway, find a way of releasing your emotions so you can keep yourself clear and healthy.

Art is one way to express yourself. Doodles and sketches are great for capturing feelings.

As you are changing and evolving in your life:
Be kind with yourself
Be conscious
Have fun!
