Of Road Detours And Inconveniences : Random Quarantine Thoughts

Sometimes, life takes inconvenient detours that oftentimes derail our plans and timetable that lead others frustrated and some, hopeless. 

Now that most of us are at home and nowhere to go, we have the luxury of time to reassess our lives and analyze our successes and failures. We have time to make an inventory of our past accomplishments and think of ways on how to get back on our feet so we could learn more and improve ourselves. 

In her book, ‘Managing Emotions’, author and preacher Joyce Meyer wrote, “When we are disappointed...we have to make the decision to adopt and adjust, to take a new approach, to keep going despite our feelings. That’s when we must remember that we have the Greater One residing within us, so that no matter what happens to us, we can let God turn our disappointment into a reappointment!”

I, too, have experienced a rather interesting life occurrence that made me uncomfortable at first because it was not really what I wanted to have...or so I thought.  Several times, I said to myself, “This is not what I prayed for.  Why did it turn out this way?” However, after a year of spending time in it and seeing how circumstances turned out, I realized (or rather, God revealed to me) that it was exactly what I prayed for - only that it was not as perfect as I hoped it would be. I missed out on that perfection thing. I forgot to factor in the realities of my prayer. I had pitched for a magical world. 

Now that I look back on it, life does give us detours but sometimes, these detours are there to make us better as individuals. Perhaps we lack strength. Perhaps we lack patience. Perhaps we need to grow in many areas of life. These detours are ways to help us achieve those and if we learn the lessons quickly, we move on to the next phase.

I often forget this, but it is right that we should enjoy the present and not always pine for the time when we reach a certain goal to be able to say that ‘we have arrived’  and we can now be happy. We can be happy now if we could only learn to celebrate our little victories like getting back into shape by doing home gym exercises or cleaning the most ignored corners of our home. 

Covid-19 may have caused a lot of detours in our lives but it certainly gave us time for a reset and recharge. The kind that many of us actually need.

Что нельзя говорить людям которые переживают, плачут или говорят о своих чувствах, объясняют что чувствуют? 1)Успокойся, иди успокойся 2)Не плачь, нечего тебе делать плакать 3)Не переживай, кто из за этого переживает? 4)Не драматизируй, что ты преувеличиваешь? 5) Ты очень чувствительная/чувствительный Если в детстве вас постоянно прерывали, не давали говорить, не обращали внимания на ваши чувства, слова, если вам часто говорили эти слова, скорее всего вы будете делать то же самое во взрослых отношений. Вы будете то же самое делать когда вам будет не удобно слушать других людей когда они захотят делиться с вами о том что они чувствуют, переживают. Если хотите знать что нужно говорить, напишите под постом и я сделаю следующий пост об этом. #psychology #mental #habitlabchallenge #behaviourmanagement #emotionalintelligence #managingemotion #selfawareness #instapic #instalove #saturday #kgpsychologist (at Baku, Azerbaijan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVo3T9aDHc4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Why are Emotions so Exhausting (and Hard to Control) 🤯

[moderndating101]

It is both a blessing and a curse to be gifted with the ability to feel things so deeply. So much heart and so much empathy... ❤ I believe a lot of personal mental health struggles come from our inability to process all these emotions and feelings. Most of us aren't properly taught how to manage our own thoughts and emotions, nevermind those of the people around us. Imagine being surrounded by a constant flow of toxic energy and emotional chaos that you don't understand, that had nothing to do with you.. you have no idea who or where it's coming from, why you're feeling it or what the hell you're supposed to do to make it stop. #TeachEmotionalBalance #TeachGrounding #ProtectYourself #TheLifeOfAnEmpath #TheStruggleIsReal • • • #repost @jane_lightworker ❤ • • • #ModernDating101 #EmpathsBeLike #EmpathicWomen #EmpathicDating #ItsANoForMe #ManagingEmotions #SpiritualGangsta #SpiritJunkie #MentalHealthAwarness #MentalHealth #AnxietyAwareness #Anxiety #InvisibleIllness #BlessingAndACurse #BadassWomen #EnergeticAlignment #EmotionalBreakingPoint #ToxicEnergyOverload #WitchyWoman (at St. Catharines) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br2uhahAlIn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7g9vm8rl88r1

Managing Emotions

Do you ever find yourself worrying about things that aren’t in your control? Or perhaps getting unreasonably or irrationally angry with family, or other drivers? Maybe you notice yourself finding things funny at the wrong time, or laughing too long at a simple joke? These are amongst some of the signs that our emotions are getting the better of us.

We recently did a study with our school students to see how well they managed their anger. 100% of them said their anger had got them into trouble. 65% of them said they were unsure or didn’t know how to calm themselves down once they were angry. Anger is just one of the emotions that they have to deal with on any given day.

These students are not alone! The emotional part of our brain is the limbic system and is more active than the prefrontal cortex - the part of our brain that does the ‘thinking’. It isn’t a surprise that so many of us struggle to get control over one or more of our emotions.

When our emotions are out of control, it can impact our choices, our behavior and even our mental health, leading to things like depression and anxiety. But we don’t have to stay in this place! Here are some of our best tips for getting control of your emotions:

Remember you are not your emotions.

Emotions come and go. We cannot stop that, but we are in control of how we deal with them. It is important we don’t allow ourselves to be defined by what we are feeling.

Identify the emotions you are experiencing.

The first step in dealing with our emotions is naming them as we experience them, and then noting where and when they happen. By taking inventory like this, even writing them down can help you to see the patterns and triggers you may not have noticed before.

Question why you are feeling the way you are.

What are the thoughts that come along with your emotions? Usually, how we feel about a situation is caused by how we are thinking about it. Often these thoughts aren’t reflective of reality, and working on seeing things how they are can help us find the solution.

Refocus and gain control.

Do what you need to do you need to do to get yourself in check. If you are thinking unrealistically or negatively about something, how can you change to a positive perspective? What are the triggers or situations you need to avoid? Just taking a moment to breathe and think before you respond can completely change how you deal with a situation. Recognize what is out of your hands and focus you attention on what is in your control.

Choose your response.

You cannot control the emotions you will experience, but you can choose how you react. Our responses tend to be habits we have developed over time and so they can be hard to break - it will take practice and time. Taking a moment to make a choice will make you feel empowered, in control and more likely to react in the right way.

Getting in control of our emotions will ultimately lead to our stress levels coming down and therefore, a healthier and happier life. Our emotions won’t ever go away, but they don’t need to rule over us.

Feelings are something you have; not something you are.

A photo from 2 years ago - I said “think big”- and still thinking big- 😊 - if I take time to look back at what has passed in the last two years it seems like quite a lot! My twins graduated from high school and are now about to get their AA’s and move onto a university😊 I moved from Annapolis to DC. I wrote and published a book and created an online program for others to move forward in their lives. Ive continued to expand my knowledge and reach in my Life Strategist work - writing articles and doing videos. I presented at the National Association of Transhypnotherapists last fall for the first time, as well as took workshops adding new useful certifications. I continue to paint and teach art to my awesome students, and was honored to be in the top 18 art instructors in the Baltimore area by Expertise in 2017 and 2018. I have halfway figured out how to use snapchat, and am getting better at Instagram. Think Ive got FB down. The most important change is an internal one. I feel a balance and calm. I have (for The most part, most of the time🙃) let go of feeling hurt by the behavior of others- and when I do, I allow the feeling to process, and I am much more comfortable with telling someone how I feel (although, I still need to wait to balance before I do) I don’t expect myself to be perfect, and try to extend that to others. I have learned to think of each of us as having a certain set of tools, some have awareness or not, some kindness, some not...etc. I no longer expect someone to be able to do something well if they don’t have the tools. I wonder what fun I will make in the next 2 years!? I know I will learn something new.🌸 #growth #growing #thinkbig #progress #artist #lifecoach #lifestrategist#success #work #job #whatido #past #present #future #lookingback #emotionalgrowth #emotions #managingemotions #spirituality #proudofmyself #yayme #keepingon #helpingotherssucceed #life #wuvip #wuworldchanger #transformationtv #desireeholmesscherini #hypnotherapist

3 Questions to Manage your Emotions: The Bible says in 1 Peter 4:2, “From now on, then, you must live the rest of your earthly lives controlled by God’s will and not by human desires ” (GNT) What are human desires? They’re your emotions and your affections. Once you become a Christ-follower, your life should be controlled by God’s will, not by how you feel. Let me give you three questions to ask about your emotions when you’re trying to figure out how to deal with how you feel. When you’re angry or upset or frustrated — whatever you’re feeling — ask yourself: 1. “What’s the real reason I’m feeling this?” Maybe the answer is fear or worry. Maybe it relates to something someone said to you years ago that was never resolved. 2. “Is it true?” Is what you’re feeling at that moment true? There’s a point in the Bible where Elijah got so discouraged that he went to God and complained, “God, I’m the only one in the entire nation of Israel left serving you.” And God challenged him, saying, “Are you kidding me? I’ve got all these people who are still serving me! You’re acting like you’re the only one trying to do the right thing in the whole world! No. That’s not true.” 3. “Is what I’m feeling helping me or hurting me?” Will you get what you want by continuing to feel this way? A lot of feelings we have seem natural, but they’re actually self-defeating. Let’s say you go to a restaurant, and the service is extremely slow. You wait a long time to be served, and then a couple comes in 15 minutes after you and gets their food before you do. You get increasingly more irritated until you feel something welling up inside you. What’s the real reason you’re feeling that way? You’re hungry! Is it true? Yes. You’re frustrated because the service is slow. But is your emotion helping or hurting? It’s hurting. Do you get better service by getting angry with the server? Absolutely not. Does nagging work? Has it ever worked? When somebody tells you all the things you’re doing wrong, does it make you want to change? No! All it does is make you defensive. When you ask yourself these three questions, you get a better grip on why you feel the way you do and what you need to do to help the situation. That’s called managing your emotions.  💭 ▶️ Why is it hard to sometimes admit that an emotion you think you feel isn’t actually true? ▶️ Think of a recent experience where you felt angry or frustrated with someone. How do you think asking these three questions could have changed the outcome of the incident? ▶️ What do you think it means to be controlled by God’s will?

Notice your reaction to events. Most times we're overreacting. Managing our emotions is a shortcut to wellbeing and happiness.
