Sadness, anger, happiness, envy, jealousy, excitement, boredom, annoyance, guilt, shame, or anxiety etc.
These are all normal human emotions. We all humans feel them from time to time. We can feel them in one day.
Feeling these emotions is not an abnormality. Rather it’s an indication that
1: our brain is working properly.
2: and we are human beings and not robots.
But if any one of these emotions becomes so magnified that it interrupts our day to day living.
Like if we are sad all the time, every day. And it affects our relationships, our work: That becomes a challenge then
If our excitement is so much, that we are always in state of excitement. We start spending money, buying things that we don’t need, yelling at people, cutting off people, that becomes a problem.
Same with anxiety. Worrying about things that needs to be done is normal. But if our worries affect our sleep, our relationships, our work, our happiness, our focus etc, that then becomes an anxiety disorder and in that case we need to learn to slow down . Whether we do it through holistic ways, seeking counseling, or in severe cases we may have to take medications, our bodies will slowly return to it’s peaceful state and we can live a happy and healthy life.
Comment if you resonate.
Remember people who live in high conflict areas, poverty, or in toxic / abusive households, have ongoing anxiety. Why? Cause they are in perpetual state of anxiety( flight and fight) it’s their bodies way of surviving. They are hyper vigilant. Anxious/ on an edge/ worried/ .
It’s the law of the nature.
So can they ever feel what it means to be calm. What it means to be peaceful.
Yes they can. Through prayer, meditation, play, journaling, therapy, spending time in nature when they get a chance, putting boundaries, exercise, in gyms, connecting with like minded people who don’t abuse them, judge them, and taking good care of themselves.
They can then gently work on their passion and find meaning and purpose in this life.
