You do not have to understand every feeling you have. Sometimes you know exactly what you feel. Other times, you may feel irritated, unsettled, excited, or overwhelmed without knowing why. You might struggle to find the right words, or you might not realize how you feel until much later. That is part of being human.
Over the next 52 weeks, I invite you to join me in making a little more room for your feelings. Through questions, writing, doodling, and simple observations, you will have opportunities to explore what you feel and get to know yourself a little better. Some prompts may be easy to answer. Others may leave you thinking. You may discover something new about yourself or become more comfortable sitting with a feeling you cannot quite name.
Whether you are just beginning to explore your feelings or have been doing so for years, there is room for you here. There is no test to pass and no perfect answer to find. You do not have to know exactly what you feel or have the right words to describe it. Start wherever you are, be patient with yourself, and give yourself permission to explore.
I am glad you are here. "Let us begin this journey, one feeling and one observation at a time." Welcome to Feelings Are Weird.
