Ever have a day where you feel somewhat off?
Maybe sad from something occurring in your life that’s disappointing.
Well, I’m having one of those days.
And, you know what?
It’s okay.
We all have them.
Instead of eating something to help lift my mood. Or trying to think all positive thoughts…
Both of which are great approaches.
I’m just letting myself sit with “it”.
I’m letting myself allow this feeling to be present for awhile, which in turn will allow it to run it’s course from my body.
See, sometimes when something disappointing happens we have a right to feel what we feel. And to stuff that feeling down or to try to quickly alleviate it, only leads to problems later on.
When we don’t acknowledge what we feel and sometimes just allow ourselves to feel it, that emotion stores itself inside your body- your organs. And, will eventually surface, maybe in the form of an illness. Or maybe, just in the form of an explosion of anger or sadness- from out of nowhere (so to speak)!
This is a sign of stored emotions…
What to do?
Let it ride!
Spend half a day, a day, whatever it takes to “get it out”. Allow the sadness to be expressed, cry, yell while alone in the bathroom, squeeze the heck out of a pillow. Whatever it takes (within reason, of course).
Then, wake up the next day and start from scratch.
A new day, a new outlook.
Which means, the sadness is gone from your body and your life now- good for you!
You can pull out that positive attitude again!
