I Had Bad Feelings Doing What I Was Told To Do So I Tried To Bury The Feelings And Lie To Myself

This is a story about how I bought into the narrative of success but found emptiness and sadness instead. Not understanding the bad feelings, I tried to hide them. But they kept coming back. Here, I share how I am learning to be friends with the bad feelings in addition to the good ones so that I don’t have to lie to myself anymore. The Hawaiian prayer Ho’oponopono is powerful for acknowledging that a wrongdoing has happened, asking for forgiveness, thanking, and loving. It can be directed towards other people, your emotions and feelings, to the universe, and to yourself. It is about restoring balance. I’m sorry Please forgive me Thank you I love you #forgiveness #motivation #inspiration #consciousness #hooponopono #goobieanddoobie
