Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, episode 171, how you're supposed to feel.

How often are you telling yourself that you shouldn't feel the way you do?

Or maybe you're believing that other people should feel differently than they do.

How exactly are you supposed to feel?

Let's talk about it in today's episode.

Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, the only podcast that offers a proven process to help

you work through your grief to grow, evolve, and create a future you can truly look forward

to. Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach,

grief expert, widow, and mom, Krista St. Germain.

Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. I'm recording this one a little bit early,

trying to get a little more margin back in my schedule. So my daughter has not left at the time

I'm recording this. If you've been wondering how I'm doing, it hasn't actually happened yet. So stay

tuned for that. I'll let you know. It's going to be fine, though, because honestly, because of exactly

what we're going to talk about in today's episode. All right. So let's

just jump in because it's already relevant. How do you feel right now? Check with your body. Don't ask

your brain. Ask your body. What's the emotion I feel right now? Now, how do you think you're supposed to feel right now?

Do you think it's different than how you currently feel? Are you supposed to feel some other way

than how you currently feel? Because this is what we do to ourselves. How you feel right now is how you're supposed to feel.

Anything else is resistance. And remember, what we resist persists. Now, acknowledging how you feel

and allowing yourself to feel it doesn't mean you're resigning yourself to only feeling that way.

It doesn't mean it's how you'll always feel.

It doesn't mean you're giving up.
