When I realize that my feelings are hurt, I've adopted a practice to help me work through hurt feelings rather than hide them, stuff them away, or drown them with different experiences, loud music, or finding the closest distraction. I have written a note to myself, and to you, little reminders when you feel overwhelmed by feelings, or just need those reminders that you you are in a constant state of growth. Here's to you and your growth.
I allowed my feelings to be hurt in this situation.
It’s ok to have hurt feelings.
You are not a bad person for having hurt feelings.
You are worthy, accepted and loved.
Let me comfort you my friend.
Know that you are complete.
The pain that you feel in your heart is unfolding.
We’ve only just confused what pain really is.
Does the seedling wail in pain as it breaches the surface of the ground for the first time?
Does it cry when it begins to unfurl it leaves, to catch the light?
Would not this process be painful? Only to the observer.
If we inhabit our observer, we are present, fully one.
We then experience all fragments of perception.
How do you handle hurt feelings?
