Be emotional.

emotionsWhen I was younger, I had been told that I was too emotional. I thought it was a bad thing. I tried to not show my sadness or frustration towards situations. This isn’t helpful for anyone. Emotions are what life is all about! My husband recently told me to ‘be emotional.’ He knows that I am either a 10 of elation or a 10 of sorrow…there is no middle ground with me. He, thankfully is about a 3 on all emotions which balances me out. I used to think he wasn’t excited for things or that he didn’t get angry but he’s just even tempered. I’ve realized that, for me, it’s ok to be crazy excited about organizing my planner but it’s also ok to be teary eyed when I see an animal commercial. I agree that it’s necessary to breathe and calm down when things aren’t as big as they seem (don’t sweat the small stuff) but I also think you should laugh til you cry, sing at the top of your lungs, cry until there are no more tears and get so frustrated that you just have to scream! Anyone else out that a 10 of emotion?

  1. I’m sooooooooooooooooooo emotional. I try sometimes to reel it in, but it comes out. I attempt to *not* cry when I get frustrated with the kids because I don’t want them to feel guilty. I also don’t want to scream at the top of my lungs or say curse words, so I think crying is better there.
    I think becoming a mother has made me hyper-emotional. I cry for the animal commercials, Cheerio commercials, the mere thought of my kids growing up will keep me spinning from one thought to another in tears and boundless emotions.
    I am emotional…. to be quite honest I’m getting emotional now 😀 LMBO
    XOXO

    • I SO cry at the thought of my girlie growing up…she’s 5 mo…like really Shelly? That Coke commercial where life is crazy and then they get excited about having another baby..gets me every time. 😉 I’ve not had the frustration of kids yet but I’m thinking breathing will help! <3
