Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.

More wise words from Proverbs.

Recently I taught a client some ways of expressing her feelings in verbally abusive situations. Her practise response was:

‘I feel so much lighter’.

The feelings she had been carrying around for decades were contributing to a cancer diagnosis. Up until now she has lived with the adage, ‘just swallow it up and move on’. Her body was saying – no more, the feelings you are asking me to carry are overwhelming. I’m overburdened. I can’t cope anymore.

There is a simple way to let go of feelings so that you are vulnerable and your most authentic self. In a way that does not get people’s backs up. Instead people want to move forward to support you, or even consider changing. Let me know if you would like to know how to do this so you can feel a whole lot less anxious, and more free.
