At first, this can feel like one of those “easier said than done” things. But with practice, it genuinely becomes more natural.
And the more present you learn to be with your own feelings, the easier it becomes to be present with others when they’re hurting or struggling.
As a society, we’re deeply uncomfortable with emotional discomfort and big feelings. That makes sense—and it’s exactly why we have room to grow. We can start shifting our collective emotional intelligence by remembering that feelings aren’t good or bad—they simply are.
They’re signals. They offer information about our needs. Even when they don’t immediately “make sense,” they matter. And they’re best navigated when we meet them with safety, space, and curiosity.
When we allow ourselves to actually feel our feelings, not only do they soften and move, but we learn so much more about ourselves and each other.
It’s natural to want people to feel better—but that often reflects what we want, not what they need in that moment. To work through uncomfortable emotions, we all need the freedom to feel what we feel, without being rushed out of it.
The more comfortable we become being present with our own emotions, the more resilient we grow. We begin to trust ourselves to navigate emotional difficulty. And from that place, we become far better at supporting, mirroring, and meeting others where they are.
