Suppression vs. Restriction‏


By: Yehuda Berg

Friday, November 28

There is a very fine line between suppressing our emotions and shutting down our reactive systems.

Restriction creates momentary struggle, but almost immediately there is calm and clarity. Suppressing emotions, on the other hand, creates long-term stress. Slowly, suppressed emotions gather force. Pressure builds, and eventually we blow!

Today, get in touch with your emotions. What are you holding in? Allow yourself to feel it. There is something there for you to learn.
