Saanams Mind

Any emotion, if it is sincere, is involuntary.  ~Mark Twain

Am sure like me there are many people who have been so swamped by the emotions they feel that sometimes life gets paralyzed by it.Everything stops all around just because our mind is so much a puppet of what we feel ,that it brings life to a standstill. As always I went scouring the net and books looking for something that would snap me out of this phase, get me the emotional stability I looked for and for articles that would help me don a coat of indifference as it can be called, which may help me try and make changes in my life.

While we take so much of care about our physical well being ,how many of us really look into our  emotional well being ? Does emotional good health mean we never allow ourselves to feel sad or negative ,or does it mean we go on being happy no matter what? Emotional stability or well being means we accept our emotions, we accept the reasons we feel sad, we accept why we are happy and are extremely comfortable with the way we feel.It also means not allowing emotions to rule your life.I searched for ways that would heal the mind and help cope with maintaining emotional stability.

First of all we need to stop dwelling on emotions n negative thoughts that pull us down.Sometimes our emotions get so strong that they spiral us out of our control,bringing with them unneccesary feelings that consume your life and sap you of energy. Instead you have to redirect the energy towards doing something that makes you happy and strengthens you.

Then one has to work on coming to terms with the emotions and accept the reasons why you feel that way even if they are sometimes not very profound at that point they are important to your emotional well being.Understanding the reasons behing why you feel that way will help you in understanding your emotions.

Acceptance really helps in coming to terms and getting things in control … it provides a harmony in your mind that allows you to take things in its stride and and find peace within yourself.It will help you come to terms with who you are and why you feel the way you do, teach you to respect and love yourself more.Though this is not very easy and wont happen overnite wanting to do it is the first step and having belief in oneself and loving oneself warts and all surely goes a long way .

Feelings are much like waves, we can’t stop them from coming but we can choose which one to surf.  ~Jonatan Mårtensson
