Emotional Balance Achieving your Desired State of Mind

Emotions; we all have them, love them and hate them! We have all been there, where something came your way that you just were not expecting and then in a flash your life can be turned upside down. Along with this challenging season comes a whole host of emotions rising to the surface as though you were beginning to hear crazy voices inside your head. It is these moments when we allow negative emotions to dictate our actions that results in words you wish you didn’t speak and actions you truly regret. It’s time to get off the emotional roller coaster ride you seem to have a season pass for. We can no longer blame others, blame our nationality or even our history. There comes a time when we take personal responsibility for our emotions and learn how to manage them.

Before we move on lets list some harmful Anger Shame Frustration Depression Hopelessness Hatred

These are but only a few of the negative emotions that we can experience. I know that we all have felt the internal pain that emotions can produce. I want to encourage you right now; believe that you will get through this. Understand that your current circumstance does not define you but rather is helping you to grow and evolve as an individual. You do not have to live with this pain for the rest of your life. So take a few deep breaths and think of something that makes you happy. Exhale all that worry and stress and just be still for a few moments.
