Blog: Harnessing Your Emotions & Reclaiming Your Courage
Let’s be real for a second.
Have you ever felt torn between two very different messages? On one hand, you're told to be in touch with your feelings. On the other, you're told to detach from them to find peace. I’ve lived in that tension. For years, I tried to follow the advice of self-help gurus and spiritual teachers who insisted the path to peace was simple: let go, detach, don’t feel so much.
So I tried. I tried to be “above it all.” Emotionally unbothered. Spiritually detached. I thought that was the path to healing.
But what it actually did… was disconnect me—from myself, from others, from the life I was supposed to be living.
I wasn’t upset. But I also wasn’t happy. I wasn’t anything. I was numb.
And that’s when it hit me: I didn’t need to escape my emotions. I needed to learn how to work with them. Those feelings I had tried to suppress? They weren’t my weakness—they were my strength.
Let me be clear: I’m not here to tell you to stuff your emotions down or pretend you’re fine when you’re not. But I’m also not suggesting you spill your emotions all over everyone around you. There’s another way.
What if your emotions were never meant to be controlled or avoided—but instead harnessed?
Your Emotions Are EnergyOur emotions are powerful. They’re raw energy. They can either run wild and create chaos—or be channeled into something beautiful, something healing, something true.
For most of my life, I thought emotions were obstacles to overcome. I now know they’re the key to unlocking my courage, creativity, and connection.
When you suppress your emotions, you lose your fire.
When you use them—wisely, intentionally—you light up your life.
This Isn’t About Being Fearless. It’s About Being Brave.You don’t need to be confident to start.
You just need to be willing—willing to feel it, face it, and follow it back to where it began.
Here’s a simple practice I use that works every time:
And from that place of awareness, you can finally choose how you want to respond—not just react.
Here’s Why That MattersLet’s say you get upset with your partner for leaving dishes in the sink. Seems simple, right? But when you trace the feeling back, maybe you realize it’s connected to childhood memories—being punished or ignored, having to clean as a consequence. Suddenly, it’s not really about the dishes.
It’s about a part of you that still feels unseen.
And when you understand that, you’re free. You can explain what’s happening inside without blaming or exploding. You get to respond from a place of clarity and truth.
That’s the magic. That’s how emotion becomes power—not drama.
Love Feeds LoveWhen we express our true emotions in healthy ways, we create deeper intimacy.
We give others a chance to love us, because we’re no longer hiding.
But when we shut down out of fear—fear of being hurt, rejected, or misunderstood—we block the very love we’re longing to receive.
Yes, vulnerability is scary. But it’s also magnetic.
People are drawn to real. They’re drawn to you, when you stop pretending and start showing up as your full self.

Here’s a simple practice I use that works every time:
- Grab your journal and write how you're feeling right now. Be honest.
- Then ask yourself:
“When was the last time I felt this way?”
Write that down. - Ask it again:
“When was the time before that?”
Keep asking at least five times. - Eventually, you’ll hit the memory where this emotion was born.
And from that place of awareness, you can finally choose how you want to respond—not just react.
