They practice something called emotional honesty.

They tell themselves the truth, even when it's uncomfortable, even when it's scary.

They say, I'm overwhelmed.

I'm hurting.

I'm scared.

I need support.

I need help.

I need rest.

Whatever it is, they practice that emotional honesty because that honesty is powerful because it becomes the doorway to healing, to clarity, to connection, to releasing the emotions, right?

They lose their grip on you.

Literally, the moment I just say, ah, I'm feeling overwhelmed right now, I start to feel less overwhelmed just by getting it out.

That's why moving your body every day also helps you get your emotions out if you've ever worked out, feeling stressed, and you're like, oh, man, I feel so much better after I worked out for 30 minutes.

Yeah, because you're moving that energy, that emotion inside of you, and that's what you need to do.

Speak your emotion.
