LEARNING TO SIT WITH MY EMOTIONS.

By MEERO

 For the longest time, I always ran away from any negative emotions. I could never sit with any sadness, grief, or any sort of unhappiness. I usually find a distraction or two or even ten to escape these nasty feelings.

I love to laugh, and it's healthy to have fun, laugh, and enjoy life, But only when you are genuinely content.


I grew up to be very anxious about not being liked, misunderstood, or rejected, and never in my life had I decided to sit with these emotions until recently. 

I had always practiced running away from feeling sad, and boy, Am I so good at creating the distraction I need most of the time. 


But recently, I decided to stop resisting the anxiety, sadness, and or loneliness and learn to practice sitting with these emotions until I understand where it is coming from and why and how I can fix the root cause of this emotion (obviously down the road) otherwise it would be another way to escape feeling the feelings.  


It is not an easy process, but it's part of growing up and maturing (they say) :) It is a sucky position and feeling, but it is crucially necessary to listen to our bodies not only when it's going through physical pain but also when there's emotional pain of any sort. Sit with it, listen to what it's telling you, and don't judge yourself for your feelings ... they exist for a reason.


Feelings/Emotions are like an alarm that tells us something is off. Don't panic about panicking or when something doesn't feel right.

I now sit with it, I feel them, and I know life will keep bringing these emotions up until my last breath, but learning to accept these feelings and not resisting them is a sign of a healthier mind. 


For that, I will always accept my feelings instead of running away. Learning more about myself has been one hell of a journey, but I know it will always be worth it.

Practice sitting with your emotions without any judgment. 


Love & Peace

"Turning red flags, green."

By MEERO
  At the beginning of relationships, a lot of people turn those very obvious vibrant red flags into green flags instead and then tend to blame others for becoming something else later, which can also be true in a lot of cases. Still, many of us are guilty of changing the incredible, authentic, genuine red flag to a lovely green shade that suits our need for something. Whether it is a need for companionship and love or the fear of loneliness, we allow reality to bend otherwise at any other time when we didn't have those needs or fears we could have accepted. You start convincing yourself that the flaws could be a true advantage… and that is a change of mindset, but with that comes denying reality, which is a horrifying thought. Is your need for belonging and love making you twist and bend reality to fit that mold you built in your imagination to feed this need by keeping people around you that you shouldn't be keeping? There's no 100% correct answer; everything can be 50/50,...

"Too late or just on time?" Enjoy the ride!

By MEERO
  Life continues to teach me things every second if you look at things as deeply as I do.  One of the most annoying things (for me) is that things never happen when I expect them or need them the most ... and then I realize that they happen as soon as I give up.  Was this a coincidence or a pattern?  It was a pattern that kept happening repeatedly; for example, the job you wanted so badly only came when you gave up searching, so the joy of getting the job hits you differently!!  Imagine if we received everything we wanted and needed instantly!! I don't think my tiny brain can even imagine that! I would totally have a heart attack (Always dramatic) But the deep thinker that I am, I started watching the pattern, trying to understand why! I always like to ask why! because nothing is a coincidence... Everything's been calculated and couldn't or shouldn't be any other way, but I can't help but wonder! The appreciation that comes too late is useless, or that's what it...

"The caregiver" love the bond.

By MEERO
  Hospitals are a major part of our lives, you’re born in one and that is if you’re lucky, it’s where we all go for emergencies, surgeries, having babies and many more other reasons that are health and safety related.  It’s such a sad and a dull place to be at (Patient or Visitor) but it’s inevitable … my luck with hospitals so far had been not the best, I’ve watched my mom going to the hospital every 3 weeks for 3 years we had to go for a different damage in a different organ … we went through Breast & uterus Cancer, liver damage, Hep C, kidney failure, arriving at the end at liver failure then followed by mom gone to a better place (I truly believe in a much better place saved for the ones god chooses to save, and yes I believe in god … I know God and believing is not trending nowadays, but I am old fashion that way lol)  This post is for the caregivers, I know exactly what you’re going through and I understand your pain but let me tell you something you probably he...
