Acknowledge Your Feelings
Waypoint Message
Your feelings are messengers, not enemies. When you acknowledge them instead of pushing them away, you gain insight into what you need. It's okay to feel frustrated, sad, excited, or confused, these emotions are part of being human. Naming and accepting your feelings isn't weakness, it's wisdom. Emotions carry valuable clues about your experiences and values. By listening with kindness, you grow in self-awareness and emotional strength.
