🌟 Embracing and Expressing Emotions in an Overwhelming World🌟
In today’s fast-paced environment, working with our emotions has become more important than ever. There’s a growing interest in introspection and understanding ourselves—thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns… All that Jazz you hear about on Social Media and TV shows… well, it s here for a reason : This journey is crucial in the era filled with over-simulation and fear.
Let s also be honest : The pandemic has intensified our emotions! While some found the time to reconnect with family and themselves during lockdown, others have faced traumatic moments. Reality is, We’re seeing increased anxiety levels, particularly among children, demand for therapy has skyrocketed, and I hear testimonies of people still struggling in crowds.
Many individuals have developed coping mechanisms to deal with anxiety. A friend told me about an article about how isolation during lockdown led to excessive media consumption, disrupting our “brain” balance due to over exposure to screens. The brain is looking for its next dopamine shoot. Even if we weren’t all traumatized, the impacts of these experiences are undeniable.
Personally, I felt relatively okay during that period but I now notice that references to lockdown in movies or shows can trigger tears or deep sadness. This highlights the emotions that need addressing. And do I do after… I find myself scrolling through screens as a coping mechanism when overwhelmed, emphasizing the necessity for safe spaces where we can share our feelings and experiences.
That’s why I’m committed to creating workshops and spaces dedicated to emotional release, and connection. It’s vital to have opportunities for open dialogue about our feelings, especially in these challenging times. Let’s come together to support one another in this journey! 💬❤️
