“???????? ??? ???????; ?? ??? ?? ??? ??? ??? ??????? ???? ??? ??? ?? ??? ????? ?? ??? ???. ?????????? ??????? ???? ?? ??? ????? ?? ?? ???????.” ~ @brenebrown, quoting Emily & Amelia Nagoski from their new book, ???????.
Our lives are multifaceted, and often emotions get put in a separate category, like a box we shove away that we don’t have time – or make time – to sort through. But ???????? ??? ???????????. And each one creates ? ????????????? ???????? ?? ??? ????. They are a driving force in all of us, an essential part of human life, and a factor in disease.
But what do we do with them? ??? do we work with them? If it sounds exhausting to tend to every emotion you have, I feel ya. We can’t always do this, especially in a situation where the appropriate action calls for setting our emotions aside and dealing with them later.
And therein lies key – dealing with them later. ?
What Emily & Amelia’s book ??????? is presenting, is actually good news: We don’t always have to change the issue that sparked the emotion. We just have to deal with the feeling (or physical reaction) from it.
And here are some ways to do so:
▫️Physical activity
▫️Breathing
▫️Positive social interaction (I know, a more challenging one in a pandemic!)
▫️Laughter
▫️Affection (i.e. a 20 second hug)
▫️A big cry
▫️Creative expression
And though it wasn’t mentioned, I’d like to propose ??????????? for this list as well?
One thing I love about Chinese Medicine is that emotions are woven into it. They are a recognized ?????? ?? ?????? ??? ???????. There are acupuncture points that help the body process the neurochemical responses of emotion, so we don’t get stuck there – or burnt out.

I highly recommend the podcast episode (Unlocking Us, Oct 14th 2020). And if it sparks your interest, consider reading Emily & Amelia’s book ???????.
