Your Feelings Are Valid - Reflect Affirm

Have you ever had a day where you feel down? Or that your anxiety is getting the best of you? It’s easy to dismiss feelings like these as something that will go away quickly, but in reality they can be symptoms of larger issues. To accept your feelings is to understand that feelings are not good or bad — they just are. Your feelings are valid. This is a skill that takes practice, but can have a huge effect on how you live your life.

Understanding your feelings is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. But, for many people, their emotions are a difficult thing to comprehend. They feel like they’re out of control and that no one else understands how they feel. The truth is that it is hard to understand how someone else feels. And it’s human nature to have trouble empathizing with other people’s feelings. That’s where positive affirmations can help you validate your feelings.
