Things that are obvious, others we keep well hidden, subconsciously safeguarded by our survival instinct. . . Yet, no matter how well we think we're carrying ourselves, sometimes we tend to underestimate the importance of direct communication. Talking about what bothers us is somehow overlooked in favour of "urgent" daily tasks. Somewhere down the line, however, a moment comes where intense emotional discomfort sets in; in the beginning we're not sure what it is, but as we keep ignoring it persists. It might be invisible to others, but it's very visible to us. . . What I want to say is that it's a great deal to ask "how are you?" and actually MEAN IT. It means a lot to a person that needs an outlet for their suppressed emotions to be heard. You never know what others are going through. Lending an ear (and paying attention) is much more important than we think. Going through the process of speaking our previously formless brain chatter, helps us set a healing process into motion, faced with our thoughts spoken out LOUD. Apart from the mental health benefits of conversation, very often a better part of ourselves offers us just the answer we need. What do you all think? 💜 . . #SophiasMotivationMonday #motivation #inspiration #positivity #relatable #selfimprovement #truth #quotes #wisdom #success #life #love #spirit #mindfulness #spirituality #consciousness #trust #awareness #selfimprovement #quotestagram #entrepreneur #SelfLove #alchemist #nofear #lifelessons A post shared by SEASON OF GHOSTS (@seasonofghosts) on Oct 7, 2019 at 12:35pm PDT
