Emotions are always with us. Suppressing emotions can cause stress to the body and mind and can lead to symptoms of depression.

The inability to deal with emotions can lead to fear of conflict, low self-esteem, and difficulty creating lasting relationships and negatively affect our mental and physical health. Avoiding our feelings can also lead to problems with memory, aggression, anxiety, and depression.
After all, emotions are there to be expressed, to get out. They tell us what needs attention and wants to be acknowledged. The more we ignore our feelings, the louder they scream in us. Sometimes they scream themselves numb, and we can fall into depression.

Allow yourself to grief, feel sad, and feel anger. If the pain inside is too much to bear by yourself, remember, you are not alone. Reach out to a friend, support group, or professional to talk it through. Writing about it in your journal is another effective way of expressing it, and so is moving your body. Be kind to yourself, always!

You don't have to sit like a buddha statue to practice mindfulness, nor do you have to set aside a certain amount of time of your day if you don't want to. You don't have to change your everyday life to incorporate it into your lifestyle. Mindfulness is about being more aware of what you are doing in the present moment.

Mindfulness is not something new, it is a quality that we already have, but our busy lifestyle and 24/7 sensory overload have made it harder to maintain.

The brain has a hard time distinguishing between what is real and what is made up. Therefore, it does not differentiate between what you think and what you experience in reality. This means that if you think thoughts that make you anxious or stressed, the body reacts as if it were. You can not rule out negative thoughts, but you can learn to handle them instead.

Where to start:
When you eat, for example, stay in the moment, how does the food feel in your mouth? How do you feel when you wake up or going to bed? How does your body feel? Be aware of your wandering thoughts, observe them without valuing them or judging yourself, smile, and continue your practice. Observe yourself and the sensations you feel when you are doing the dishes, watch that plate get clean, feel the water on your skin in the shower, be and stay aware of the steps you take when you walk. Get in touch with your beautiful mind and body.

Spring is here even if this April weather tells us different (here in Europe)

Being aware and taking care of your inner world and body is equally important as taking care of your home.
Although decluttering your space can help you with your internal process.

Free yourself from grudges and drama, journal around them, reflect on them and then let it go. Allowing yourself to release, little by little, anything that doesn't serve you good is a step towards inner peace. Moving your body and being playful are some of the most powerful healing tools.
