An Empowered Way to Talk About Your Feelings

Another great reason you should talk to your partner about your feelings?

They can remind you of what might be going on when you’re feeling off.

Like this past Sunday morning, I was feeling funny. I had a hard time getting to why I was feeling that way until Jack reminded me that sometimes I feel this way when he’s heading into a busy week.

My inner child experiences some sadness, anticipating how I might miss him during the week. 

The reason he was able to point this out to me, and that I was able to hear it, was that I didn’t take my funky mood out on him. But rather, I told him I was feeling funny and wasn’t quite sure why.

Trust me when I say, I’m not always this calm and collected. But I’ve tried the tantrums and I’m here to report back - it doesn’t work, sister.

When you let your partner in on how you feel, without making it his fault or problem, you subtly invite him to help you out.

It’s a display of love on both sides.

You share how you’re feeling without expecting your partner to hold all your emotions.

He gets to support you in the best way he knows how.

Sharing how you feel from an uncomplicated space with no expectations is empowering for you, your partner, and your relationship.

Try it, and let me know how it goes.

With love,
