Not recognizing how we really feel is one of the most common and troubling blind spots. When we don't see how we really feel, our emotions start to manage us, rather than the other way around. We literally begin to mask our emotions. We may be ticked off at a friend who's late, but if anger is too threatening, we simple smile and ignore our churning stomach. Later that evenin we find ourselves snappin at our spouse/mate/partner for no good reason at all. 'Where did that come from?' You both wonder...

When you are blind to ur emotions, you give up ur ability to control them. They bleed into other areas of ur life where they have no right to be. You may start ur day badly by missing ur breakfast because u woke up late. But if you dont know it- if you dont pull back and recognize that what you are feeling is disappointment or frustration- you ll be grumpy at work, never quite knowin why.

Once an emotional response comes into awareness- you acknowledge ur feelings. The chances of handling it appropriately greatly improve. When we live in denial of our dark side, our strength, our limits, our egoism and our emotions, we pay a price. And more often than not, the price is staggering. This is especially dangerous when comes to relationship...Especially relationship.
