To help with that, let’s continue with the practice of experiencing and moving through the 8 unpleasant feelings. Once you have experienced any of the given feelings, pause, and take some time to reflect, and see if you can identify and invite the more positive counterparts of these 8 feelings.
Last week, I suggested positive feeling counterparts to anger, disappointment, and helplessness. This week we will address shame, embarrassment, and vulnerability.
Once you have experienced shame, follow with self-compassion and forgiveness.
Likewise, with embarrassment, recall moments of confidence that can inspire trust in yourself.
And, with vulnerability, work on framing moments of vulnerability, instead as moments of empowerment, to shed the idea that vulnerability equals weakness.
