Feelings, we all have them.

This was handed out at my first Moms Supporting Moms Meeting.

FEELINGS

One of the Basic Currencies of Human Interaction

*Feelings are a basic unit of human experience.

*There are a small number of feelings that underline much of human experience. These are fear, anger, sadness and happiness.

*All feelings are OK.

*Feelings will continue to re-cycle until we allow ourselves to feel them deeply.

*Feelings will re-cycle until we love ourselves for feeling them.

*The direct expression of the basic feelings can result in clear, meaningful communication.

*Directly stating feelings and wants can solve problems.

*Feelings that have not been accepted, deeply felt and loved will re-cycle in the form of unproductive thoughts and behavior.

*The way out is always through.

*What we resist ruins us.
