Balancing distraction and feeling

[aklacor727]

For the past year, I’ve mainly been focusing on dating, and realized I’ve been in doing mode and thinking mode for most of this time. These past few weeks, I’ve been feeling more like getting into my body and feeling things through, slowing down, etc. Once I started doing this, some sadness and depression has come out. I assume it’s been in there this whole time and I’m just now in my body enough to be able to really  feel it. 
 

once I get back into doing and thinking of course with the distraction, I feel better. What kind of balance do you all feel is healthiest for staying happy but also processing and allowing emotions to move through you? Is there any sort of practice you feel has worked best for you. I just kind of been doing mindfulness and body awareness practices.

 Thanks

If it's not beyond your capacity, let as much flow through you as you can. Don't think about it or engage with it, just let it express itself naturally with silence and acceptance. It's integrating and healing.
