There\\u2019s a thing that people in recovery like to say, and it really used to piss me off. The saying is, \\u201cFeelings aren\\u2019t facts,\\u201d. While it may be true, I know my feelings are real, and I just didn\\u2019t get it when people said this. Usually it was in an accusatory manner, like, \\u201cHow dare you have those feelings!\\u201d I now have a better handle on my feelings, both in recognition and understanding them. This week\\u2019s episode 163 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to validate and understand your feelings and create emotional sobriety!\\xa0

In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I\\u2019m sharing the importance of understanding your feelings and actionable steps you can take right now to validate your feelings without overreacting and letting emotions take the driver\\u2019s seat. A lot of the times our emotions and our reactions to those feelings are directly related to the things we\\u2019ve experienced in our past. In my case, that\\u2019s trauma. Without recognizing this in the present, you could have something trigger a fault-line in your soul that causes a different reaction than the situation actually warrants. This is not to say that your feelings don\\u2019t matter; they do and we should feel them. Where we get into trouble is when we mistakenly believe the emotion we\\u2019re feeling now actually relates to the current situation, and not from our past, and then act on that feeling. We instead need to focus on what we want, not what we don\\u2019t want.

We want to live our lives on purpose. This means identifying not what we don\\u2019t want, but what we DO want, in order to get to peace. Focusing on other people and what they\\u2019re doing is not going to get me peace.\\xa0 Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
