My dearest friends,
Your emotions may be running high, and you must remember that emotions are a path toward feeling your way into a life that is meant for you. The sad reality of our human world these days is that there are far too many media sources, such as Facebook, YouTube, News Channels, and others, that fuel our emotions.
This gives you (and me) a sense of emotions running high because DANGER, DANGER! Sadly, our brains are still very much living back in the fight-or-flight mode of our human evolution. That said, we can learn to discern these emotional jolts.
We can learn to sift and sort through our emotions to come to a space of learning what it is we need to release. My friends, I was just discussing a two-week detox of media with my fiancé. I was referring to a time when I used to detox my middle kid from media/mostly electronic devices, to help reset him. I could sense when his emotions were getting a bit high, and as an intuitive Mama, I knew he needed to release the addiction to media (mainly YouTube and video games).
I believe we can find footing during times of emotional roller coaster rides. First, for me, I like to write it out. I can sift and sort through my emotional roller coaster through the art of journaling. I find that writing has helped me in many areas of my life, especially the chaotic times of my childhood.
Not only was writing in a journal a huge release for me, but diving into a good book to escape the chaos around me worked well, too!
Sadly, much like most things in my experience, my trust in journaling was betrayed when others read my personal thoughts. Deep personal thoughts not meant to be shared with others were read and then tossed back at me as if I was a horrible person, and so over time, I let go of journaling, and it started to make my emotions run high again.
A cycle I struggle with, as do some of you out there - our trust gets betrayed, and we pull back. We become afraid of being who we are, releasing our honest inner chaos, to become more peaceful for fear of judgement, someone else reading or hearing our innermost fears/insecurities/emotions and using them against us when they should love us.
It is crazy how we are all taught to be this way; at least I used to think every human was taught to be this way, but in this season of life I am learning that there is an existence of human beings who won't do this, although it is rare to find.
This means that I must remember, and you must remember, to hold your vision. That vision of the life God led you to, and maintain that vision no matter how hard the roller coaster ride of emotions can be. Remember, our emotions are good and can guide us, but they are not fully accurate if we are not using tools such as writing, visiting nature, talking with the birds, and so forth to balance ourselves and ground ourselves back to Earth, aka God's good energy.
My friends, if you can learn that sometimes your human emotions will run HIGH, and that those emotions mean you need to release something, while holding onto your vision of the life you seek, you can expect a powerful change to come to you - and you will have a beautiful GOOD life.
