Many times we can be our own worst enemy. We can struggle with anxiety, self-criticism, doubt, fear of missing out, disappointment and more. ⁣⁣

A powerful first step to free yourself is to start greeting these emotions and naming them. There is a phrase ⁣that says “name it, to tame it”. So here is a little trick. The next time you are flooded with difficult emotions try this: ⁣
“Hello Worry⁣,
Hello Jealousy⁣,
Hello Doubt,⁣
Hello Anxiety⁣,
I see you.”⁣

Greeting your emotions by name when they appear will allow you to create a little distance between you and your thoughts which can help you avoid getting entangled in an unproductive thought spiral. It seems simple, but it works wonders. ⁣⁣

Do you have trouble getting caught in unproductive thought spirals? Have you noticed how exhausting it is? Give yourself a ⁣⁣break today and remind yourself how deeply you are loved by God and then treat yourself kindly like you are someone that you care deeply for. ⁣⁣
