The Incredible Surge Of Feelings Of Contentment And Goodwill

Feeling connected to the good in your life will help you to connect to the Real You and Real You can open the door to Inner Peace because Real You can recognize it and its worth in your life. It is a completely different experience and one that you can only have if you choose, from time to time, to eat alone. Alone is not the same as lonely. This describes the incredible surge of feelings of contentment and goodwill that follow when you choose to do something kind or good or helpful for someone else with no thought of reward or payment. Volunteer for a charity and you will see what I mean. There is no feeling like it and guess what? In fact, Nature has now been shown to be so important to feeling positively about ourselves and our lives that when we are denied it, scientists use a term called Nature Deficit Disorder. But before we can master our emotions, we need to connect to them and we do that through our feelings. Think about some strong emotions you may have experienced over the last few months and then think about how these emotions felt in your body. Did your body feel light or heavy? Did your body feel relaxed or jittery? Did your head feel fit to explode? Did you want to cry? But first, you must accept and not fight them. Accepting our emotions can be hard because sometimes we feel guilty about having them and almost always we would rather not have them. But fighting powerful feelings is not the answer because then they just intensify. You will know this if you have ever tried hard not to cry when you feel overwhelmed by sadness or you have tried even harder not to laugh when something has hit your funny bone.

Born Under A Bad Sign

Accepting our emotions is the second step in mastering them and the only way to diffuse some of the power they have over us. For instance, in one study which looked at how sufferers dealt with chronic pain, those who decided to accept their discomfort and who used mindfulness techniques to cope with the pain reported a 40 percent reduction in the intensity of that pain over time. Accepting any difficult and painful feeling, physical or emotional, is not a fix to get rid of it altogether but a 40 percent reduction in discomfort is not to be sniffed at. Believing you are not enough can only leave you feeling sad and depressed. A belief, however powerful or persistent, is not a fact and you already know that no amount of believing can make something that is false become something that is true. What is true, warns Marisa, is that if you keep on believing something, you will, eventually, make it true and prove you were right all along. But who is going to benefit from that? But what can we do when we are in the midst of an emotional storm and don’t have the clarity of mind or the calm, clear thinking we need to retrain the brain? But, there are other ways to stop strong emotions from derailing us. You always have more of a say than you think. This may be a friend, a trusted work colleague, or a family member. Remember too how asking for help is a strength, not a weakness and so don’t delay. Reach out and ask for the help you need. Try to avoid hurtling straight into panic mode when really, nothing terrible has happened and nobody’s world is about to end.

Are They Humans Being?

If you feel overwhelmed by sadness how do you know that? Because you get a lump in your throat! Go for a walk, go for a swim. Go and volunteer in a community garden. Get off the couch and move your physical body which will help calm your mind and diffuse strong emotions. Hopefully, in time, the thing that is upsetting is and the feelings that go with it will just go away. They simply go underground and wait for the next time you feel the same way and release them. The trouble with this strategy is it means each time you let a particular feeling out, it comes out stronger than the time before. The only way to diffuse this feeling is to accept it, feel it, accept yourself and know that it will, in time, pass. Because all things, in time, will pass. Withdrawal is not the same as choosing to spend some ’alone’ or ’me’ time but is more a rejection of others to protect the self, and can also be seen as a precursor to serious depression. They may withdraw because they feel overwhelmed by their own feelings about themselves and their circumstances, or because they feel they have failed in some way. Withdrawal always causes more problems than it solves because it leads to depression, isolation, loneliness, and distorted thinking. Human beings need the input of other human beings to stay balanced.

Trying So Hard To Forget

So, bullying is always about power. It is also about making someone else feel badly about themselves so that you can feel better about yourself. Therefore, it is harmful to all involved. If this is the case, then please reach out to someone you trust and get them to help you to get help. You’d probably say angry or sad or stressed or anxious. You might even admit to depression too but there will be other secondary feelings, most of which are a result of not managing the primary ones in a healthier way that can also send us spiralling into losing our perspective and hating ourselves. You will probably have your own list and if you do, write that list down somewhere now. If not, you can share mine and just expand on the list below if I have not included some emotion or resultant feeling you are currently struggling to master. If we think about the language of social pain, the clues are all there.
