There are so many things we humans tend to hold back on. We repress a lot of
our emotions, whether they are considered “good‟ or “bad‟ ones. Most
commonly, we have been taught to hold back on our “negative emotions” fear,
anger, sorrow, pain, etc. as a child.
Yet, I now realize that holding back anger or any other emotion affects
negatively the person who is holding back. The anger I refused to let out stayed
locked up inside, fermented, and gave rise to all kinds of poison. Frustrations
and anger were withheld, only to explode when “I’d had enough”. This anger
later had to be released through illness or directed at someone else or self or
through therapy.
Anger manifests itself in the form of headaches, ulcers, cancer, arthritis, and
many other physical ailments.
Of course, we feel that by holding back on expressing our anger we are doing
the right thing and not hurting anyone. We can express ourselves without
destroying the other person’s sense of self-worth or attacking them emotionally,
verbally, or physically.
Expressing our deepest feelings also applies to expressing feelings of love and
appreciation. I have found that at times when I expressed feelings of gratitude
and love to others, they were surprised at the way I saw them. Never assume that the other person knows how much you appreciate them. If you think it and
feel it, then say it.
We can choose to let go of the fear of being wrong, or appearing ridiculous,
etc., and act on our feelings. Be true to yourself. Holding back is only
postponing the truth and can harm the other as well as ourselves. Holding back
is postponing the freedom to be who we really are - loving, truthful children
who desire to be happy and free from negativity.
