Talking with my client's, family, friends and other people, I make sure to tell them that no one can tell you how you feel. People can sympathize with you and even give advice. However, you feel what you feel..and it doesn't mean that what you are feeling and the emotions that come with what you are feeling are final.

Checking In On how you feel:

1). Check yourself 1st. Is it me..and how  can I change this feeling?

ex: exercise, sing, yell in a pillow, brief, bake, read,  write down your vision, talk it out! 

2). Let it pass.. That's right! is what your going through really that important that it consumes your day.. The time you can never get back?
