Day 11 Emotions and Fear

I totally agree that our subconscious mind creates pain in our body to manufacture fear and anxiety as a distraction against unsurfaced or repressed emotions.

For me, in this program so far, there are two main battles going on:
  1. The undertaking to identify, acknowledge, and allow these suppressed emotions to pass and acknowledge that they are the root cause of the pain.
  2. To manage the fear as it comes: to not give it power, to not let it get you out of your equilibrium, to not let it take moments away from you.
The reality is that this is not a linear fix. It doesn't seem to be as simple as acknowledging emotions, and then the fear just starts to go away.

On fear, we are told to not give it power and to offer ourselves self-compassion, love, and kindness. We're told to stand up to the inner bully in our heads that has been way too hard on us. This fear/bully is there because of the repressed emotions.

I'm having a hard time acknowledging these repressed emotions that are oftentimes resentment, judgment, anger, rage, etc., and having these emotions exist in my head while also trying to be kind to myself and not letting fear arise and escalate in my head at the same time. All I'm saying is it's a lot of dialogue at once! Any thoughts?
