I often say to clients that feelings and emotions are messages. Here is a great way to explore that concept.

HOW TO PROCESS YOUR FEELINGS (Without Being Controlled by Them)

Feelings are not problems to fix.
They are messages to understand.

Most suffering doesn’t come from emotions themselves —
it comes from resisting them, suppressing them, or becoming lost inside them.

Here’s how to process your feelings with awareness, not avoidance:

1. PAUSE
Before reacting, pause.

Take a breath.
Slow your body down.

This pause creates space between what you feel and what you do.
In that space, wisdom can arise.

In Buddhism, this moment of pause is mindfulness —
the ability to see clearly instead of acting blindly.

Not every emotion needs an immediate response.
Some only need your attention.

2. NAME IT
Give the feeling a name.

Anger.
Sadness.
Fear.
Disappointment.
Joy.

Naming an emotion takes away its power to overwhelm you.
What is named becomes observed, not possessed.

You are not “angry.”
Anger is arising within you.

This subtle shift reminds you:
You are the observer, not the emotion.

3. FEEL IT (WITHOUT JUDGMENT)
Sit with the emotion instead of pushing it away.

Don’t label it as good or bad.
Don’t rush to escape it.
Don’t shame yourself for feeling it.

Feelings are like waves —
they rise, peak, and fall if you don’t fight them.

In Buddhist practice, this is equanimity:
allowing what is, without clinging or aversion.

What you resist persists.
What you allow, softens.

4. ASK WHY
Gently explore the root.

What triggered this feeling?
What expectation was unmet?
What attachment was touched?

Often, emotions reveal hidden truths —
unhealed wounds, unmet needs, or false stories we tell ourselves.

This is not about blaming yourself or others.
It’s about understanding.

Awareness turns pain into insight.

5. RELEASE
Once understood, let it move through you.

Breathe deeply.
Write it out.
Speak to someone you trust.
Sit quietly and watch it fade.

Feelings are energy.
If they are not expressed or released, they become stored tension.

Release does not mean forgetting.
It means not carrying unnecessary weight.

6. SHIFT
After release, gently redirect your energy.

Toward calm.
Toward kindness.
Toward something constructive.

Not as an escape —
but as a conscious choice.

This is wisdom in action:
choosing peace over rumination, growth over repetition.

FINAL TRUTH.

Feelings are temporary guests.
They come to teach, not to stay forever.

Suffering begins when you cling.
Freedom begins when you observe, understand, and let go.

You don’t need to control your emotions.
You need to befriend them — and know when to let them leave.

🧘‍♂️ Nothing that arises is meant to be held onto forever.

If your heart feels tender because someone is missing from your December…
I see you.
Love and grief often sit at the same table this time of year.

Let your heart feel what it needs to feel.
It’s an honouring of those gone, not a weakness.

Joy isn’t the only feeling in December. A lot can surface in this complex month. So remind yourself that:

Joy is welcome.
So is sadness.
So is nostalgia.
So is uncertainty.

December is a mosaic and every piece belongs. All your feelings are worthy of attention. So embrace them, sit with them, thank them and let them go.

Most of us feel really tired by December and often for different reasons.

If this year has stretched you thin…
If you’re entering December already exhausted…
If energy feels like a distant visitor…

You’re human and your body is asking for gentleness, not judgment. Ask yourself what will really serve you? What will refill your bucket? Then do it.

My Decembers are usually spent with close family, no more than 6 of us and it's a simple affair. A sea swim, a coffee, reading, chatting, walking or mountain biking - none of it obligatory or intense. That's the way I like it.

Yet for others, December can be noisy with expectations, gatherings, obligations, pressure.

If you feel yourself tightening inside, pause for a moment. Place your hand on your heart. Breathe.

Your inner world matters too. You don’t need to match the busyness of the season. You just need to honour yourself and give yourself the space to connect with you.

So many of us forget the role of the body when we're working through a healing process. Bodytalk has taught me how critical it is to also work with the body to release stored trauma, beliefs, and emotions.

There’s No One Way to Feel in December.

Some people feel festive.
Some feel tired.
Some feel grateful.
Some feel lonely.
And many feel a mix of everything.

There’s no “right” December mood.
Wherever you are emotionally, it’s valid, and you’re not alone.

Your Body Knows What You Need This Season

Maybe you need connection.
Maybe you need quiet.
Maybe you need to cry.
Maybe you need space to breathe again.

Trust your body’s whispers this month.
It’s wiser than any holiday expectation.
