Do you ever feel flat when you know you should feel something? When a close friend moved away, Fr Columba noticed he felt almost nothing, and he realised that wasn't how he wanted to live. In this episode, he looks at temperament, why we sometimes avoid emotion because it leaves us vulnerable, and why our feelings are part of the humanity God gave us. Jesus, who was fully human, felt great sorrow and great joy. Fr Columba shares the simple things that help him bring a slow heart to life: talking, journaling, prayer, imagining someone he loves, and using an emotions wheel. If your heart feels grey, this is an invitation to keep unwrapping the gift of who you are.
