What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

I am growing tired of my inner kiddos quieting my voice when I really need to speak up for myself.

I have a feeling of being trapped because I'm having trouble communicating. I am discovering more about myself and what I'm not ok with and finding the massive energy it is going to take to project my voice seems impossible today. Things need things to drastically change and the uncertainty of the potential imagined repercussions is causing me much fear.

@Ironlady ,

This is going to be completely off-the-wall, and "out there", so to speak and I apologize in advance if it just seems too weird......

This falls into what I believe is called 'alternative healing' but, wearing turquoise around the throat can help you to project your voice and it supposedly does so by helping to open and protect the throat 'chakra', (energy center).....(think aura).

I bet I looked a little silly but, I used to hold a piece of turquoise to my throat when I was having difficulty communicating and it really worked, now is it psychological? or subconscious?, I don't know, probably but, it worked for me and I just thought I would share in hopes it would help you as well!!

Perhaps a turquoise necklace as a gift to your inner child-self might be beneficial for those days when you are having trouble finding your voice.
If only as a reminder that you are indeed a survivor. Who knows/ hope it helps!

I am feeling a little embarrassed at the moment, but mostly I feel good today.

The sun is out, it is a warm 70 degrees, and my mood is bright and cheerful. I pray it continues.

Healing hugs for all in need!!!

Thank you so much Lionheart!.. I am familiar with some alternative healings but hadn't considered that option before. It would be worth a try! Thank you for your kindness and post. Gives me something to think about and try and hopefully even if it has a placebo effect perhaps it will help get me unstuck. Big hugs to you! Thank you!

Happy you feel mostly good! 70 degrees is perfect for fresh air!.. wishes of continued cheerful mood! :)
 
Though I presented as if I held self-control today, I felt driven by compulsion in what I chose to do today. What I chose was all-good and everything and produced useful results, it's just that it feels rather lousy to wade in that kind of inflexibility.

Other then that:

Life has been most stressful and difficult and therefore, these last couple of weeks, I've been feeling irritable, short and I've been mostly emotionally detached.

I accomplished some things today (a good cleaning and organization of ingredients, groceries, shopping list, herbs, etc.), as well as went to (physical therapy) and though doing so was productive my day was lost, and I felt anxious and unhappy with that being the case.

Life often get's really, really confusing and challenging. - This is O.k. - ...isn't thrilling, but still O.k.

Tonight on the other hand, is a true pain in my arse, as I'm awake at this crazy hour and haven't event attempted sleep.
