Feel the emotions



Don't run, face it

It's overwhelming, it's chocking, I need something to keep me busy

That's what we tell ourselves, that's where we make the mistake. It's better to drown myself in a movie, to music to a game, to drugs, to sleep

At least I won't be able to feel it anymore, but, what happens when all that cools down?, when the movie end? you are back to the same situation, the more you run away from your emotions, the more they pile up t, and, you won't like it when they bust

You have to learn to listen to yourself

You may ask how exactly?

By allowing yourself to be in the moment with no distractions, you have to feel the emotions, if you want to cry cry, if you want to shout shout

Take a deep breath, acknowledge those emotions, be in the silence if you want to, take a walk if you want to,

Once you acknowledge them you will fill some weight being lifted off you

You are the medicine, not the distractions
