The Laws of Detachment promote personal growth, better relationships, and emotional well-being. 💆‍♀️ They encourage us to let go of control, embrace uncertainty, and accept ourselves and others. 💛 By allowing others to be who they are, we create space for healthier relationships. 🤝 We should also embrace our own individuality without seeking validation from society. 🌟 Trusting that solutions will emerge and accepting uncertainty as part of life can help us become more resilient in the face of adversity. 🙌

Manipulation is when they blame you for your reaction to their toxic behavior but never discuss their disrespect that triggered you

Manipulation can be hard to spot, but here’s a sign: if someone constantly blames you for your reaction to their toxic behavior, but never acknowledges the disrespect that triggered you, they’re manipulating you. ✩₊˚.

They twist the situation to make you feel guilty and avoid taking responsibility for their actions. It’s not your fault for reacting to mistreatment. Healthy relationships involve mutual respect and accountability, not shifting the blame. If someone always turns the focus on how you reacted instead of addressing what they did to cause it, that’s a red flag. ⋆☾⋆

“Ya Allah, aku berlindung kepada-Mu dari sifat gelisah (pesimis), sedih, malas, kikir, pengecut, terlilit hutang, dan keganasan orang lain." 🤲 -Diriwayatkan oleh Anas r.a-

Trust your feelings and recognize when you’re being manipulated. You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness, not made to feel like your reactions are the problem. Always stand up for your worth and don’t let anyone convince you that their bad behavior is your fault.⁺₊✧

Anger and the Power of Release Shaina Tranquilino July 28, 2024

Anger is a natural human emotion, an intense response to perceived wrongs, injustices, or frustrations. However, how we handle anger can significantly impact our well-being and relationships. Traditionally, people might think of channeling their anger into revenge or retaliation, believing it to be a way to restore balance and achieve justice. But this approach often leads to more harm than good, creating an energy of imbalance that can perpetuate a cycle of negativity. A different approach involves releasing anger, which can foster healing, personal growth, and emotional balance.

The Cycle of Revenge and Its Consequences

Revenge might seem satisfying in the heat of the moment, providing a sense of justice or retribution. However, this satisfaction is usually short-lived. Thoughts of revenge can consume our minds, fueling anger and hatred. This emotional turbulence creates an energy of imbalance within us, affecting our mental and physical health. Prolonged anger and resentment can lead to stress, anxiety, and even depression. Moreover, acting on revenge often perpetuates a cycle of negativity, leading to further conflicts and emotional turmoil.

The Power of Releasing Anger

Releasing anger doesn't mean suppressing it or pretending it doesn't exist. It's about acknowledging the emotion, understanding its root cause, and finding healthy ways to let it go. This approach promotes emotional balance and allows us to move forward without being weighed down by negative feelings. Here are some strategies for releasing anger effectively:

1. Acknowledge Your Anger

The first step in releasing anger is to acknowledge it. Denying or suppressing anger can intensify the emotion over time. Recognize that it's okay to feel angry and that this emotion is a natural response to certain situations. Give yourself permission to feel without judgment.

2. Understand the Root Cause

Take a moment to reflect on why you're angry. Is it a specific action, event, or person that triggered your anger? Understanding the root cause can help you address the underlying issue rather than just the surface emotion. This insight can also prevent future occurrences of similar anger triggers.

3. Express Your Feelings

Find a healthy outlet to express your anger. This could be talking to a trusted friend or therapist, writing in a journal, or engaging in physical activity. The goal is to release the pent-up energy in a way that doesn't harm yourself or others.

4. Practice Mindfulness and Meditation

Mindfulness and meditation can be powerful tools for managing anger. These practices help you stay present, observe your emotions without judgment, and develop a sense of inner calm. Regular mindfulness practice can reduce the intensity of anger and improve your overall emotional resilience.

5. Cultivate Empathy and Compassion

Try to see the situation from the other person's perspective. Cultivating empathy and compassion can soften your anger and help you understand the motivations behind others' actions. This doesn't mean excusing harmful behavior, but it can provide a broader context that aids in forgiveness and letting go.

6. Engage in Physical Activity

Physical activity is a great way to release the physical tension associated with anger. Whether it's going for a run, practicing yoga, or hitting a punching bag, exercise can help dissipate the intense energy of anger and leave you feeling more balanced.

7. Create a Peaceful Environment

Surround yourself with a calming environment. This could involve decluttering your space, spending time in nature, or engaging in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. A peaceful environment can help soothe your mind and reduce the intensity of anger.

The Benefits of Releasing Anger

By releasing anger, you create space for positive emotions and experiences. Letting go of anger can lead to:

Improved Mental Health: Reduced stress, anxiety, and depression.

Better Relationships: More harmonious interactions and less conflict.

Enhanced Physical Health: Lower blood pressure and reduced risk of stress-related illnesses.

Personal Growth: Greater emotional resilience and self-awareness.

Inner Peace: A deeper sense of calm and contentment.

Releasing anger is a powerful act of self-care and emotional maturity. While it may require effort and practice, the benefits far outweigh the temporary satisfaction of revenge. By acknowledging, understanding, and releasing your anger, you can create a more balanced and fulfilling life. Remember, true strength lies in the ability to let go and find peace within yourself.

Protecting Your Peace: Setting Boundaries Without Apology

It's okay to set boundaries. It's okay to protect your peace. And you definitely don't need to apologize for it. Setting boundaries doesn’t make you selfish, rude, or cold-hearted. It means you know your limits, and you value your mental and emotional well-being.

For too long, I used to say "sorry" for simply looking after myself. I felt guilty for prioritizing my needs, but I’ve come to realize that when I don’t set boundaries, I’m the one who ends up drained. And guess what? You can’t pour from an empty cup.

Boundaries are a form of self-respect and care, and there’s absolutely no shame in that. Whether it’s stepping away from a draining conversation, saying “no” to plans, or simply carving out time for yourself—you deserve that space. So, if you've been apologizing for creating healthy boundaries, stop. Protect your peace unapologetically.

Emotional suppression and expression vary across cultures, highlighting the differences between collectivist cultures, which prioritize social harmony and often encourage emotional restraint, and individualistic cultures, which value self-expression and authenticity. It delves into the psychological implications of these behaviors and emphasizes the importance of understanding these cultural nuances for better communication and relationships in a globalized world.....

It is ok.

After having spent the last few days brooding in victim mode, I think it's time to pull myself out of it now. This is for everyone who is in the same situation:

Feeling down and feeling sorry for yourself happens once in a while and that's ok. It's normal.

Not remembering and understanding all of your traumas is OK. Things will never be 100% clear, and that's normal.

The gruelling uncertainty about who you would have become if certain things hadn't happened to you is OK, too.

Doubting whether everything was really that bad because you also recall some good memories is normal! No mother, no father is perfect. Mistakes happen. (But I will make sure not to repeat the same mistakes. Some things were truly so obviously terrible that I know I will never do such things to my children, and I will never understand why they were done to me.)

Feeling constantly disconnected from other people because they will never understand what you are going through is a tough one. But I also know that almost everyone has a secret cross to bear. So it is maybe not that rare someone feels that way. And it's understandable and ok.

I don't know everything, but I know who I am now and what I've accomplished to get here. And that's all that matters.

Freedom forever 🇺🇸

[bercintalewatkata]

To My Almost... If one day we go back to being strangers, it's okay. That doesn't mean I hate you, or I forget about you. It just simply means that I am giving you back your peace. I want you to live your life the way you deserve it. Meeting you and falling in love with you wasn't a mistake. It was God's way of giving us a lesson that we can carry for the rest of our lives. °˖𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒✧°.🎀༘⋆ The memories we shared will forever be treasured. The pain that we caused each other will remain in our scars. But that scar will not always be ugly. Some of it was tears, but mostly laughter. So don't worry, I'l always choose to remember the happy times, and bury the painful ones. °˖𓍢ִ໋🌷͙֒✧°.🎀༘⋆ I am now slowly forgiving myself for the things I wasn't supposed to do. l pray to God to give me the courage to move on with my life without holding on to the promises that has been broken. I pray for strength to face each day without any regrets.

La depresión, en todos sus niveles de gravedad, siempre encuentra ese cruce de caminos entre el abatimiento, la infelicidad y muchas otras veces, con la culpa. Y ahí es donde estamos nosotros, en silencio y desesperados, remando en una gran laguna gris interior dentro de un exhausto cascarón exterior, donde ningún tipo de comprensión puede calmar ese nudo en la garganta que siempre nos deja al borde de las lágrimas. Buscamos la fuerza necesaria para llevar a cabo hasta las tareas más simples de nuestro día a día. Muchas pueden ser las causas: la frustración generada por aquellas metas que no pudimos alcanzar en el trabajo, en nuestros estudios y hasta en el amor. Y como si no fuera suficiente, todo el peso de nuestra culpa se metaboliza en forma de una enorme roca que poco a poco empieza a hundir nuestro bote, haciendo que sea cada vez más difícil poder llegar a la costa.

Incluso la depresión, siendo un sentimiento común en casi la totalidad de la humanidad, continúa siendo un tema casi prohibido entre nuestros yo interiores. Intentamos llevar nuestra dura existencia con normalidad, como si el pedir un abrazo y un poco de entendimiento fuera el peor de los pecados. Con una sociedad que aparentemente goza de un oasis de alegría, terminamos no solo luchando contra la pena, sino contra nuestro orgullo de pedir ayuda, ahogándonos aún más en un vaso de agua, empeorando como si en realidad no hubiera algo más normal y rutinario que el sentimiento de pesar.

La melancolía es aquel sentimiento que nos hace brotar lágrimas cuanto más apretamos el puño. Cuando las cosas se ponen más difíciles, es aquel sentimiento que nos ata al sufrimiento, producto de nuestra decepción, fruto de nuestros sentimientos sobre las experiencias que nos vemos obligados a atravesar como seres humanos. Nuevamente nos sentimos obligados a buscar empatía donde no la hay, donde la sociedad pretende que tenemos que mantenernos positivos ante cualquier adversidad. Sentirnos incomprendidos es nuestra primera reacción ante todas las cosas, creyendo injustificada tanta ira contra el mundo, producto de la falta de empatía que tiene nuestro entorno con nosotros. Pero es ahí donde deberíamos sentirnos en paz, sentir que podemos amar y ser amados, pero nunca va a ser tan simple como eso.

Sentirnos tristes a veces funciona como una droga; uno poco a poco le va agarrando el gusto. Miramos con ojos incrédulos la posibilidad de que toda aquella gente decente y normal no pueda sentirse tan alienada e incomprendida como nosotros. ¿Acaso merezco cada uno de los golpes de la vida? ¿Acaso los tiempos duros son el resultado de tantos pasos en falso? ¿Acaso soy responsable de tanto dolor? Pero dentro, y muy en lo profundo de nuestro ser, el sentimiento de infelicidad es algo casi tan básico que costaría no encontrarle un sentido.

Queremos creer que, lamentablemente, nunca aprendemos de nuestros errores y que siempre es demasiado tarde para poder intentarlo de nuevo. Así perdemos meses y años, autoflagelándonos día a día con la fantasía: ¿qué hubiera pasado si...? en vez de tomar nuevamente las riendas de nuestra existencia dejando un poco de lado la imaginación y esa agridulce fantasía, en lugar de seguir engordando aquel sentimiento de ira y desesperación. Quizás deberíamos hacernos más tolerantes, amables, mejores personas para concentrarnos en lo que realmente importa. Es tan simple y tan difícil como eso. ¿Acaso no existen suficientes razones en nuestra vida para sentirnos felices? Es complicado porque siempre vamos a ser nosotros quienes debemos quitar la venda de la infelicidad.

Intentamos buscar culpables exteriores de aquellos sentimientos cuando somos nosotros los encargados de que ese río encuentre el mar. Nuestra vida siempre va a estar rodeada de malas decisiones. Muchas veces nos vamos a equivocar y vamos a ser testigos involuntarios del amor y del odio ajeno antes de que decidamos abandonar nuestro hogar y entregar la llave de la vida al siguiente inquilino. Junto con nuestro día a día, y a medida que vamos creciendo, vamos tomando conciencia del complejo entramado del vivir e ingenuamente creemos que somos incapaces de comprender algo tan complicado, cuando en realidad nadie puede.

Aunque constantemente seamos bombardeados por las malas noticias en un mundo sin lugar para los débiles, nos autoconsolamos interiormente con la promesa de que el mañana será mejor. Pero, lamentablemente, un día la gallina infinita de los huevos de amor simplemente muere. ¿Entonces acaso ese dolor es el producto de nuestro fracaso? Rechazamos cual tabú uno de los sentimientos más primitivos que tenemos como humanidad, avergonzados de ser seres sensibles como si el mundo no nos estuviera poniendo en constante prueba. Somos nosotros quienes debemos poner peso a nuestra existencia y entender que los sentimientos no son positivos o negativos, simplemente son.

¿Acaso estás dispuesto a llevar esa pesada mochila al resto de tu vida, o peor aún, terminar con ella cuando solo bastaba vaciarla de piedras? Somos prisioneros, captores y guardias de nuestro mismo exilio, y a su vez somos aquellos quienes portan la llave para salir caminando de esa prisión de tonos grisáceos. Tenemos terror a nuestros defectos como si fuéramos la mismísima representación de todo lo que está mal en el mundo, cuando son los mismos problemas que día a día combate tu vecino, tu amigo, el presidente y el hombre más rico de la tierra. Tan solo si por un segundo pudiéramos entrar en la cabeza de aquella persona que tanto anhelamos ser, te sorprendería saber que está pasando, pasó o pasará por lo mismo que nosotros.

Aquellas inquietudes existenciales son la respuesta de nuestra propia interpretación al dolor y a la tristeza. Sobre todas las cosas, nos sentiríamos mucho menos solos. Debe haber pocas confesiones más vergonzosas para nosotros mismos que admitir que estamos solos. Y es gracioso, como si rodearnos de personas nos convirtiera en individuos más o menos respetables. Pero contra nuestro terco yo, esto es una característica casi innegable de que somos personas sensibles y la soledad es su fruto. Ser incomprendidos nos vuelve solitarios, y el no poder saciar aquella necesidad de compartir nos vuelve aún más alienados.

Vivimos en una contradicción constante entre la honestidad y la aceptación. El ser nosotros mismos nos hace culpables de ser rechazados. Vivimos constantemente bombardeados con la disyuntiva de elegir entre ser aceptados o dejar abierta la posibilidad de poder hacer daño. No podemos culpar a otros por no querer aceptar quiénes somos y menos castigarnos por ello. Cargamos casi orgullosamente el estandarte de la soledad como si quisiéramos disfrutar solo nosotros de nuestro dolor. Y por más que nuestro entorno quiera ayudar, nos hacemos oídos sordos.

En realidad, quieres seguir nadando solo en el océano, sabiendo que tu barco ya se hundió. Y aunque sepas que la felicidad te está esperando en la orilla con los brazos abiertos, cuando te des cuenta de que ese orgullo que te impide pedir ayuda es el resultado de una sociedad que nos preparó psicológicamente para que los hombres sean fuertes, carguen los rieles de la vida y puedan, en su peor instancia, ir a la guerra y salir ilesos, vas a comprender que rechazar tus sensibilidades es un acto de traición a ti mismo.

Aunque constantemente vivamos con la idea platónica de encontrar a nuestra alma gemela que nos comprenda perfectamente, deberíamos entender que la vida nos enseña a todos de distinta manera y en diferentes momentos. Ciertamente nunca vamos a encontrar esas personas súper preparadas para entender nuestro dolor, pero sin duda alguna existen. Lo que sí te aseguro es que nunca vamos a poder sobrellevar ese dolor con la mentalidad egoísta de guardarnos todas nuestras penas para nosotros mismos. Es algo inevitable, pero sin darnos cuenta estamos siendo más crueles con nosotros mismos de lo que seríamos con nuestro peor enemigo.

Carecemos de un factor importantísimo en el camino hacia la felicidad: el perdón. Esa disculpa que no le negaríamos a nadie que, de rodillas y con lágrimas en los ojos, te gritara con el corazón abierto "estoy muriendo por dentro." Aunque la idea de dejar de sentir te susurre en cada esquina y la presencia de quienes nos quieran se sienta muy, pero muy lejos, te lo digo de corazón, como alguien que lo vivió: no dejes de sentir. Si tomas esa decisión ahora, en este momento tan lúgubre de tu existencia, puedes ver cómo todo se desvanecerá. Pero tienes que mirar un poco a largo plazo. El mañana realmente puede llevarse ese dolor, y todas esas cosas que no podíamos soportar se harán poco a poco soportables. Junto con una mentalidad meramente positiva, pasarán a la eternidad como tópicos casi tan insignificantes como lo fueron alguna vez cuando se nos cayó un dulce en nuestra niñez.

La cualidad más importante de nuestra miseria, y que muchos ignoran, es que nos hace poco a poco, día a día, un tanto más humanos.
