Emotions are our weapons to our beauty inside the mind.

Emotional intelligence can be the most potent weapon in our heart and mind. Self-awareness, self-control, motivation, empathy, all of which we are to familiar with. Especially myself.

Every feeling I had was buried away, unspoken, and unshared, branded as either a sign of weakness (as regards to crying) or unacceptable (if it was anger). I considered every other feeling bad and dangerous. Part of my self-discovery was learning to get out of my judgmental head and back into my body, and trusting its natural ability to know my boundaries and how to protect myself, so I could begin to make the right choices for my health, well-being, and happiness.

I sought people who showed me how to demonstrate my emotions openly and gave me permission to feel angry and cry. I came to understand my body’s language, so, if I felt something, I got real and responded appropriately.

☆If I felt happy and safe, I smiled.

☆If I felt safe and laughed, I opened my mouth wide and laughed wholeheartedly from my belly.

☆If someone tried to disrespect me, I called them on it or walked away.

☆If I felt desire to touch and be touch, I trusted my intuition and let my body lead.

No longer confused and distrusting of my sensitivity, I didn’t need to waste my energy fighting and denying how I felt.

I was now open to love and intimacy, no longer terrified of it as dangerous, or afraid of rejection, because I felt safe in my ability to know and accept what not is meant to happen but knowing what I seek is seeking me. Stay mindful and have clear view on where you see yourself.
