Kids don't always think before they express because they're immature and often driven by emotions which are fueled by their needs. Embracing our emotions to bring us to a new understanding of ourselves is the first step on the path to maturity.
As adults, have we fallen too far to the side of thinking logically about things? Have we forgotten about our internal guide >> our feelings?
When you go straight to THINKING about how you feel about a situation, you may miss an opportunity to look at the bigger picture, and share your needs in ways which make it possible for others to feel as though they can contribute to what you are asking.
If you catch yourself in the logic trap... neglecting your heart-centered voice, then today's video is for you.
Can I have a cookie?
No, it's almost dinner.
