Day 14: Sit With Your Emotions

[Greeting]

Thank you for joining us during this 21-Day Meditation Challenge. Today is day 14 of the 
challenge, and you are going to learn how and why you need to sit with your emotions. 

Sitting with your emotions is simply the act of being present and allowing yourself to feel 
whatever you feel, without fearing them, hiding from them, or feeling overwhelmed by 
them. 

Many people who struggle with bad habits are often trying to hide their emotions, 
because they can be uncomfortable to deal with. But when you get into the habit of just 
sitting with them, you are able to process them much more easily.


How to Sit With Your Emotions (in a non-judgmental way)

Sitting with your emotions means acknowledging and accepting them instead of pushing 
them away. This can be a difficult practice, but it's a key part of emotional well-being. 
Here are some tips to help you sit with your emotions.

Notice Your Emotions

The first step in sitting with your emotions is noticing them. Whether you're feeling 
happy, sad, angry, or anything else, take a moment to acknowledge your feelings 
without judgment.

Understand Your Emotions

Next, try to understand why you're feeling this way. What caused this emotion? 
Understanding the 'why' behind your emotions can make them feel less overwhelming 
and more manageable.

Allow Your Emotions to Be

Resisting or denying your emotions can often make them stronger. Instead, allow your 
feelings to be. It's okay to feel upset, frustrated, or anxious. These emotions are a 
normal part of life and it's healthy to express them.
