Anger, sadness, laughter. These emotions are necessary for living a full and happy life. We can cause harm when we try to block these emotions. They are merely energy in motion which are asking for a chance to flow. Like a blanket flapping in the wind or ocean waves lapping on the shore we can allow our emotions to swirl through our bodies, allowing them to be loved and accepted. By trapping emotions, we tie the blanket into a knot and we try and bottle the ocean. This is not only difficult, it can also leave scars within us. It is important not to harm others with the flow of our emotions, but we can scream in the car, we can have a good laugh with friends and sadness can belt felt sometimes without tears at all.
Enjoy the flow.
Ebs and flows...that's life in a nutshell. Enjoy the good and the bad. It's forever changing...cheers for this insightful post.
ReplyDeleteExactly. If we don't like the weather, we can just wait for the storm to pass.

ReplyDeleteExactly, in with the light, out with the dark. Focusing on breathing, at any time, is such a gift.
DeleteLife is about options, our choices. Finding healthy, constructive alternatives, when challenged, allows us to stay in the solution. It also allows us to adapt to what is, rather than resist it and suffer the stress involved in doing so.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this Vanessa. I think it's very unhealthy to "block" emotions or to hold them in. They need an outlet so as to not accumulate...
