Creating space for your soul to breathe so you can discern your next right thing.

98: Don’t Preach to Your Emotions

“We ought to listen to our emotions before we start preaching to them. Let’s not tell them what to do before they tell us what they are already doing.” –Adam S. McHugh, The Listening Life

Making a decision is hard enough. But add the unpredictability of emotion to the mix and making a confident decision can feel nearly impossible.

What do we do when we have a decision to make but we have such strong emotions surrounding that decision that we feel paralyzed to move one way or another? It’s a great question and I can’t say I have a clean, linear answer. But I do have thoughts and I hope you’ll listen in.

    Having hard emotions are exhausting. Thank you for a simple way to acknowledge and use what is already in my heart. And the reminder that God made and has emotions too.
