<p>What if you didn&#39;t need to fix the feeling, understand it, or make it go away?</p><p>What if you could simply let yourself be in it?</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, I talk about learning to sit in the discomfort of our emotions instead of immediately trying to escape them, to distract, numb, solve, rationalise or rush ourselves back to feeling &quot;okay.&quot;</p><p><br></p><p>Because we won&#39;t always have it together. We won&#39;t always know what to do next. And sometimes the most compassionate thing we can offer ourselves is permission to feel exactly what we&#39;re feeling without making it mean something has gone wrong.</p><p><br></p><p>Not every uncomfortable feeling needs a solution.</p><p>Sometimes it needs space.</p><p>Sometimes it needs to move through us.</p><p><br></p><p>Because as much as we might wish there were a shortcut, sometimes the only way out really is through.</p>
