Of course you do. We all do. What I really mean is, "do you allow yourself to suffer?" Do you allow yourself to feel your emotions? Superficially? Or at a deep level?
I ask because I think most people cry when they watch a sad movie or if someone they know dies, but that's about it. I don't think too many people allow themselves to feel the full range of their emotions on a daily, hourly, or minutely (I made that up!) basis.
That probably sounds a little crazy to you, to cry on a minute-to-minute basis. It probably sounds like being owned by your emotions. I want you to know that it's just the opposite. You are owned by your emotions when you don't express them. They build up over time and influence everything you do. If you express them, they are released and have no more influence over you.
The better you get at accessing and expressing your emotions, the more control you have over your life. You'll have fewer psychological issues and fewer physical problems as well.
I urge you to spend some time today, right now, expressing your emotions. Your whole life will be better for it.
