Emotions

Why the quiet we fear is often the quiet that restores us
On silence, witnessing, and resisting the urge to explain
 • Ivan Nyagatare
How questioning your emotions can save you unnecessary suffering
Emotional intensity is information not the truth
 • Ivan Nyagatare
How to find time for what you love when you're tired!
Discipline gets you to the door; love gets you through it.
 • Ivan Nyagatare
What we’re really doing when we say “I’m here.”
When you’re providing what you don’t have because you need them to be okay so that you can be okay, that’s problematic.
 • Ivan Nyagatare
Please don't make everything personal
You’re taking responsibility for narratives they’re not even telling.
 • Ivan Nyagatare
Why do symbolic threats feel physical?
We need to remember that emotions are data!
 • Ivan Nyagatare
So stop trusting the plan and start trusting the detours.
The path isn’t fixed. The path is made by walking.
 • Ivan Nyagatare
This is the equation of healing that you need!
Because you are not defined by what happened to you in the past.
 • Ivan Nyagatare
The inability to speak your emotions is not a failure of character.
Write your way through the silence until you see
 • Ivan Nyagatare
This is another way of measuring courage.
You accept the noise, you maintain control, and you keep moving forward.
 • Ivan Nyagatare
You are in the Liminal space, this is what it is and how to stay there!
The path forward will not be revealed until you stop frantically searching for a map in the dark.
 • Ivan Nyagatare
Sometimes the only antidote is action.
Do not wait for the motivation wave.
