Expressing Ourselves

Our emotions change daily, depending on what we are experiencing. It is a spontaneous response to what has occurred. Emotions are neither good or bad. We are the ones who label them, but when we do this we begin to filter our how we truly feel. Know that our initial reaction is truthful. It is not the emotions that are negative, it is the behaviors we choose to express our feelings that may not be appropriate. Although we need to be honest with ourselves and how we feel, we are still responsible to be mindful of others by not hurting them purposefully. Today, take a closer look at how you are expressing your feelings. Are your behaviors hurting others?Be thoughtful when communicating with others how you feel. Yes, living a life that is true to you is not easy and will always be a work in progress.

Art is a beautiful way to express our feelings...

(This artist displays his works at the Saturday Market in Portland. His art is very eclectic. I don't understand it, but many love it.)
