Allow yourself to feel all that you do. Don’t “should” on yourself, as the saying goes—I should feel this way; I shouldn’t be upset about that. Instead, honor what you feel, including the tough emotions like jealousy, anger, and sadness. The reason this will help you feel more empowered is because you are quite literally giving yourself permission to not only feel what you truly do, but to regulate your emotions so they don’t build up inside and eventually boil over (often when you least want them to). What do you think you “shouldn’t” be feeling? What might you say to that self-doubting voice to affirm it’s okay to feel this way?
