Ever found yourself in a situation whereby you're anxious but can't really explain the cause of your anxiety? You're not sick. You are not okay but cannot explain to anyone what's wrong?
Moments when you just wanna go home and sleep not to wake up? Well! Well! We are told to always take it easy and calm down but what are we calming down to?
Sometimes it just feels like one of those days that wans't supposed to be; prepared yourself with good plans and great ideas but for whatever reason you just don't feel good. You are human and you have emotions just like any other being. Even the random emotions that you cannot explain.
Sometimes it's okay and important to just let them feelings move through you.
'Acknowledging sadness and uncomfortable feelings doesn't mean we are agreeing to them. It means we see them. I like to think of them as clouds passing by in the sky of my day. If it's raining I don't have to lay there under it, but I do have to acknowledge that my clothes are going to get wet momentarily.'
Sometimes no matter how much science is thrown in front of me, some days I won't ever know what's wrong and I give myself permission for that to be okay. Most feelings are fleeting while others drift in and away. I'm so guilty of this.
It's like feeling sad/upset gives us this superpower to see EVERYTHING ELSE in the world that also makes us sad/upset/disappointed and has us seriously considering running away in a van full of blueberry ice cream.
When despair hits, it's like a magnet for more. We attract what feels safe, makes sense, seems normal. It's totally okay to have days or moments where you want to acknowledge all the bad things, but it can be hard to pull yourself back out if you stay down there for too long. So you got to give yourself permission to feel whatever you need to feel sometimes. It's not an offense. Just let it flow through you and will soon fade away.
Take a deep breath and do what will ease the feelings/emotions you're going through.
