Those who are more cerebrally gifted should be even more mindful of this, for while your psyche may fool you into believing that minimising time, energy, and feeling is wise, it is often paradoxical in effect as uncomfortable emotions are meant to be somatically moved through, not cognitively overcome. There is nuance to this, for marinating in rumination without courage and with subconscious resistance is not the answer either, and most cannot tell the difference when they are amidst it all.
Sit with and honour the negative emotions so that your body does not carry them for any longer than it needs to. Feel them with full force and unabashed dignity so that they are released into the ether and are not stored covertly in your body as tension, which is detrimental to your long-term health. That is what true self-honouring actually is.
Emotional suppression is associated with an earlier death.
