Let it out!
Your emotional state can often play a major part in how good or bad your life is going. When your emotional needs are not being met in some way, everything becomes harder.
By practicing emotional self-care, you give yourself a head start on leading a happier, healthier life. Emotional self-care means that you have safe way or place to “let it out” or express your true emotions and feelings. When you have that, you feel connected which helps to make you feel more relaxed and safe.
Emotional self-care is…
being honest with yourself.
holding space for your emotions.
dealing with feelings.
learning how to move forward.
