You’ve officially reached Day Eight of the Trust Yourself Challenge!

You can catch up on each day of the challenge below:

Today let’s talk about our final STRIVE quality:

Emotionality

Emotionality is the most challenging for many Sensitive Strivers to balance. After all, you are naturally a deeper feeler and tend to have more intense, complex emotional responses.

When your Emotionality is unbalanced, you may:

❌ Get derailed by intense, unpleasant feelings for hours or days

❌ Pretend everything is okay while silently brooding

❌ Be at the whim of an ever-changing stream of feelings

But when your Emotionality is balanced, you’re able to:

✔️ Take in positive feelings like joy, pride, and satisfaction without guilt

✔️ Effectively process and work through difficult emotions to take constructive action
