Sometimes, what seems like negativity is actually a sign of something much deeper.

Here are the 3 main benefits of identifying and communicating your unmet emotional needs:

1. ❤️‍🩹 Healing Awareness: Exploring your emotional needs helps you uncover deeper aspects of yourself that need healing.

2. 💕 Stronger Connections: Validating your reality while staying open to others fosters mutual respect and understanding, enabling healthy conflict resolution.

3. 🌈 Emotional Regulation: Understanding your unmet needs transforms negativity into self-care, allowing you to be compassionate with yourself and take action to fulfil those needs.

Our unique framework was designed to help you untangle those confusing feelings and emotions. By understanding your needs, you can move towards healthier relationships and take action to feel more fulfilled.

If you’re ready for your new era of emotional wellbeing, then we have just what you need.

Our eBook is available for purchase on our website, and also on Apple Books, Google Play Books and Amazon Kindle.

Uncomfortable feelings happen when there is a dissonance between how you feel now and how you want to be feeling instead.

But here’s why you should NEVER ignore an uncomfortable feeling: because it’s bringing you a message from your emotional needs that are going unmet.

Next time you catch yourself feeling uncomfortable, instead of pushing it down, use it as an opportunity to learn about what you need.

🌈 Are you ready to move from fight-and-flight to feel-and-heal?

Sometimes the biggest cause of emotional suffering is NOT our feelings, but our resistance to feel them - and the
self-judgement that follows.

Therefore, to cultivate mental and emotional wellbeing, we need to learn to experience our feelings for what they are, instead of seeing them as an inconvenience.

Is it easy? No.
Is it worth it? Absolutely.

With the jornee app, we have created a safe digital space for you to unlock self-awareness, dive deeper into your unmet emotional needs, and embrace self-compassion through our thoughtful and unique journaling prompts.

“… there are as many ways to feel about this situation as there are people on the planet. All of them have the potential of leading someone to feel like they have been “disrespected”, but stopping there not only doesn’t help us process the real emotions behind it, it also doesn’t help us get to their root cause: an unmet emotional need.”

🛑 We’ve had enough of having people labelled “difficult” for having normal reactions for not having their basic emotional needs met.

Could it be a chemical imbalance? Sure… but what that isn’t the full story?

Were you really born defective? Or are these feelings the result of a lifetime of having your emotional needs unmet?

This is why jornee exists. We’ve designed an app that empowers you to regain control of your emotional well-being by embracing with the parts of yourself that make you human.

Let’s normalise being imperfect and having needs, because let’s face it: pretending otherwise is not working, is it?

Join us in this movement, and reclaim your mental wellness by embracing what makes you beautifully human.

🚀 We are launching the jornee app in late August / early September 2024.

❤️‍🩹 Do you worry a lot? Procrastinate? Have trust issues, or struggle with hypervigilance?

💙 If yes, it’s likely that your emotional needs for safety are going unmet.

The need for safety is about feeling secure within ourselves, our social circles and close relationships.

At its core, it’s deeply rooted in our primal instincts for survival, social belonging and personal wellbeing.

Unmet needs for safety can profoundly influence all our other needs, because we will always intuitively—and unconsciously— prioritise safety over anything else. In a way, I could even say that most of us will be actually seeking safety, even when we are trying to fulfil other needs.

When unmet, it can really get in the way of living an authentic and fulfilling life.

But to get your needs met, you don’t have to get rid of fear and the other uncomfortable feelings that come with it, as many might think.

It’s actually the opposite.

✨You need to create room for your fear and worries to speak out. You need to learn to listen to them. You need to be the one to give them the safety they need.

Ultimately, creating emotional safety is about learning to be comfortable with fear.

Careful: The more you learn about mental health, the bigger the risk is of creating unrealistic goals or expectations about yourself and how you should be.

This is a long post, but it’s something I don’t think we talk about enough.

Once there is knowledge about why you struggle, there might be an implied expectation that, in order to be happy, you need to fundamentally change.

There might be an expectation that you need to resolve all your traumas, change your attachment style, and how you inherently feel about and relate to things, in order to be happy.

The problem is that this is not true.

When I was writing my eBook Freedom Through Feelings I “accidentally” came up with an emotional needs self-assessment.

It was when I was writing the individual chapters about the 8 types of emotional needs as I understand them. I was thinking of “feeling statements” that we might feel when our needs are well met.

These are statements like: “I feel deeply accepted and valued in my most intimate relationships.”

I was simply going to add these statements in the chapters. But instead, I thought “what if I use these statements to make a ‘test’, where people can read them and decide how often they feel this way, as a way to assess how well met their needs are?”

And so I did it. In my book, I wrote 8 to 10 feeling statements for each of my 8 proposed emotional needs. That means more than 80 feeling statements.

And then, the other day I had another idea: “What if I make a very small version of this test interactive and online, to see what people think?”

🌟 And then I did it. It’s live right now - and completely free.

🧡 Type jornee.life on your browser to test it yourself.

Let me know what you think!

I’ve spent nearly two decades doing self-exploration through the ancient tradition of Yoga, as well as experimenting with practices from many movements and schools of thought.

The learnings I’ve had through this journey were the most valuable gifts I could have ever received. It has been a journey of radical self-acceptance and emotional freedom.

Two of the most valuable insights from this journey were to learn to be vulnerable with myself, and to listen to the hidden messages brought by my difficult emotions and feelings. They are the messages from my unmet emotional needs.

After all these years of introspection and self-exploration, now the time has come to begin sharing some of these learnings with you.

How? I have designed a framework for identifying emotional needs based on emotions and feelings. I’m designing an app for it, but I also wrote a book about it. Not a huge book, but a book nonetheless. An introduction to the subject, so to speak.

What will you find in this book?

🌈 An in depth explanation of my original emotional needs framework, with anecdotes and insights from a life’s journey of healing and self-exploration.

⭐️ A comprehensive emotional needs self-assessment, with over 80 feeling statements to help you identify your potentially unmet emotional needs.

📝 100+ original writing prompts for tapping into your inner wisdom to get insights on how to meet your needs.

Can writing about stressful experiences really help you?

In short, yes it can.

One study has shown that people with asthma or rheumatoid arthritis who wrote about stressful experiences in their lives saw improvements in their health within 4 months. These improvements were better than those who didn't write about their stress.

And while scientists don't know if these health benefits will last longer than 4 months, or if this writing exercise will help people with other diseases, we think that the message here is that validating your experience has such a positive impact, that it can even translate into better physical health.

So if you want better health, start validating your difficult experiences through journaling.
It's easy, free, and accessible to anyone.

It can be as simple as getting a piece of paper and a pen, and using one of the prompts below:

✏️ What am I most stressed/worried about?

✏️ What was something that happened recently that was difficult to accept?

Gratitude journaling is about reminding yourself that, no matter how difficult things might be, there are also things (and hopefully people) in our lives that feel safe and bring joy, no matter how small they are.

Writing about them after waking up can help you start the day in a better mood, while doing it at the end of the day can help you relax for a better night's sleep.

Either way, gratitude journaling can help foster feelings of connection and appreciation.

✨How to start a gratitude journaling practice?

It can be as simple as using one of the prompts below:

✏️ What are 3 things I am grateful for in my life right now?

✏️ Who are 3 people I'm grateful for having in my life, and why?

Do you have a gratitude journaling practice? ☺️

When you write our innermost thoughts and feelings without judgement, you are giving yourself the gift of being seen and heard exactly as you are.

💫 We hope your journey through life is filled with self-compassion and kindness.

If not, it's never too late to start!

✏️It can be as easy as getting a pen and paper and using the prompt below:

“What do you need to get off your chest?”

🧡 Remember the feelings of safety and trust in oneself.

🧡 Give yourself permission to feel without judgement.

🧡Awaken the part of you that knows your inherent value and worth.

🧡 Reconnect with yourself through your emotions.

✨ We are now offering our Patreon members FREE downloadable prints, with prompts for safety, connection, self-care and appreciation.

💛 These are for anyone who wants to build self-awareness and self-empathy through journaling. All you have to do is download, print, and add to your physical journal. Or just use the prompts to write.

💫 All our Patreon paid members have access to all the prints for free, but non-members can also purchase the prints separately - although it's a much better value to be a member 😉

"When I accept myself, I am free from the burden of needing you to accept me." (Steve Maraboli)

This is not about denying the importance of other people in our lives, or denying our inherent needs to feel connected with others and appreciated for what we are.

This is about learning to rely on the fact that we all have inherent value and worth.

It's about developing the self-compassion to understand that, whatever we do, we do what we believe to be the right thing, the best way we can, given the resources and information available.

When you develop this level of self-compassion, you liberate yourself from the burden of expecting acceptance from others, because you already have it within.

It's about learning to meet our own needs for connection and appreciation, so that we can have healthier relationships with others.

Developing self-compassion and learning to express unmet needs are key skills that we want to help you practice.

That's why we're developing our app. 📱

Assigning blame using absolutist statements is a common instinct during conflicts, but it only leaves everyone feeling more hurt and disconnected than before.

So many of us carry wounds about our partners, because we don’t know how to communicate our needs with authenticity and vulnerability.

What if we told you that it doesn't have to be this way?

If you want to learn how to communicate your emotions and needs, and to start cultivating more authentic relationships, head out to our most recent post in our Patreon page.

❤️‍🔥 ciúmes do seu parceiro?
pode ser porque você sente que sua necessidade de se sentir conectado a essa pessoa não está sendo atendida.

😰 medo de dizer 'não' ao chefe?
isso talvez represente uma necessidade não atendida por segurança, por talvez sentir que dizer não pode te fazer ser demitido.

🫠 sem motivação para completar tarefas?
isso pode representar uma necessidade não atendida por autonomia e independência.

ao olharmos para as nossas emoções difíceis com curiosidade, podemos descobrir mensagens poderosas que elas trazem sobre as nossas necessidades que não estão sendo atendidas.

com isso, deixamos de vê-las como um problema, e sim como uma oportunidade de viver uma vida mais autêntica e conectada.
