Just in time for the movie, Inside Out 2!
I stepped away for a while to give space for all emotions to play and show themselves.
I guess this is what it means to take on life and all that comes with it. Having emotional resiliency through life’s storm, in my opinion.
I’ve been in this space before, yet again the situation is different.
I am grateful for the support that I have to help through this moment that I am in. Being in your 20s, it's a tough ride and probably an initiation process before hitting your 30s.
I’ve realized how conditional my emotions are based on the environment. For example, if I have this then it will be great or if this works out, it will be well. It's predicated on an outcome. Overall, to take my power back, I am great regardless of the situation.
Being in this space has taught me my childhood patterns and how I handle my emotions. I am quick to self-soothe but by doing the work outside of myself. It’s a reactive response which isn’t helpful, but harmful.
It has not been a fun journey, I thought I’d paid my dues earlier in life, guess not. The question is: how to stay calm, vibrant, and collected during a turbulent time?
That takes practice, monitoring, and grounding. Nothing is permanent, but you remain through the transitions of life. It is an exhausting process to work through these emotions and give them space to be seen, heard, and valued.
Life is an inside job and withering those storms within to take on the world outside. At this moment in time, I’m learning to believe in magic and have emotional mastery. What a blessing in disguise!
Leaving this post with a Sadhguru quote, to sum up the main point of this blog:
“ People try to create an outwardly perfect life, but the quality of life is based on the inward”- Sadhguru
