Jac: It’s natural for people to want to put on a good face—a happy front—when they are out in public. And it’s common for people to lead others to believe they are feeling great when they actually aren’t. I think we have all been there often enough.

But wow… sometimes it can be wearying—and downright exhausting—to even think about having to put on that happy face to go out, see a certain someone, and/or attend an event. 

Jeri: I know what that feels like! Putting on a brave face is one way that we can control our emotions. I don’t think it’s wrong to do that. I would even say it’s healthy to have emotional boundaries in place when you’re out and about.

I mean… wouldn’t it would be strange to open up to everyone you meet about your feelings and the things you are struggling with!? 

Jac: That would not go over well. Haha. Those kinds of conversations are wisely reserved for people you know and trust—people who you know will treat your heart kindly.

Jeri: So how do you handle it when you find yourself exhausted from having to keep your emotions in check?

Jac: That’s a good question. Several months ago, something (that I normally would have been pretty chill about) really got to me.

I had already been dealing with deep and cutting feelings of rejection—in multiple areas of my life—all at the same time. 

So when someone made an attempt to change our plans, combined with the way it was handled by that someone, completely crushed my spirit. 

I became so weary of trying to control my emotions on the outside, while feeling entirely shattered on the inside… it was too much. I shut down, cancelled the plans, and isolated myself for the evening. 

That might not sound like the best way to handle it, but times like those require self-compassion. It’s important to realize that it’s ok to step away and seek healing in the ways that work best for you.  

The next morning, I still felt heavy, so I spent some quality time clearing emotions surrounding rejection. Once that was done, I bounced back quickly!

Jeri: It really is amazing how quickly those doses of enlightenment can raise your vibration and bring about positive changes in how we feel!

If you’ve ever felt the weight of holding it all together—of smiling when your heart is tired, see the dose of enlightenment below. It will help you release the exhaustion of emotional control and reconnect with your true peace.

Take a deep breath, let your guard down for a moment… and allow your healing to begin.

Love from Jeri and Jac

Since we promised to treat you to an extra dose of light in your inbox, we include a Dose of Enlightenment for you at the end of each newsletter. We value your agency, so it’s up to you whether or not you receive it!

This Dose of Enlightenment is a frequency equation meant to clear a hidden and trapped emotion that you’ve been holding onto. 

If today's emotion is one that we have already cleared, know that we are addressing a different layer or situation this time.

*******************************************************

Today’s emotion is: weary of controlling emotions

How does this emotion apply to you? For best results, ponder this question and identify how weary of controlling emotions applies to you.

Dose of Enlightenment: 49 + 951 = E

Say it out loud with intent: “forty-nine plus nine-fifty-one equals enlightenment.” 

Breathe. Let it go. Feel the shift. Allow your body to be filled with light.
