Emotional literacy is something we learn not only from school, we continue to feel and have an array of emotions throughout our lives. Overtime, we can get comfortable or accustomed with them, other times they go out of control and feel like a burden. However, as we continue to think deeper into WHY we feel this way and WHAT triggers these; we seem to uncover and delve deeper into our feelings.
I feel as we discover and explore our emotions that we get more comfortable and excepting of what triggers us and how sensitive we are. It’s beautiful to be sensitive and in touch with our emotions. We are not weak or immature if we cannot sometimes contain or overcome our feelings. The key is being aware of them and connecting them to the situations and pass experiences that cause them. We all have different sensitivity levels and we shouldn’t compare ourselves to others. Our upbringing, parents, environment and inner thresholds shape our inner feelings. To help support our emotions maybe need various platforms to assist them such as, mentorship, self help books, social community, safe and deep conversations and personal feedback.
