Human beings are nothing without their emotions. It affects our day and our mood in general.ย However there are times when we feel especially low and drained, and that shows that itโs time for some emotional healing.
โTrauma is personal. It does not disappear if it is not validated. When it is ignored or invalidated the silent screams continue internally heard only by the one held captive. When someone enters the pain and hears the screams healing can begin.โย โย Danielle Bernock on Emotional Healing

2) You end up reacting rather than responding
Your daily life seems to leave you emotionally exhausted. You donโt feel like doing anything. However, you cannot become numb to your surroundings.
You need to let yourself feel all that you go through otherwise it will be more detrimental to your mental health.
Try to respond to all that you face rather than just reacting. Responding gets you more invested in what happens to you.
It kick-starts the healing process. Reacting makes you tired and confused, you feel the mad rush within but feel lost.
You donโt know how to address this mess within. However, to take your time and carefully analyze the situation and then responding accordingly is a better approach to a happier self.

4) When the negativity fills you
Do not harbour negative emotions as it will only worsen your emotional state. Emotions like fear and anger are harmful in the long run.
We should not let ourselves be controlled by them. Try and analyze the reasons that make you angry or scared and try to tackle them.
Observe yourself and channel that anger and fear into something productive. Try and let go of emotions that make you uncomfortable and affect you a lot.
It will do you no good to hold on to things that give you pain. It cannot happen instantaneously but baby steps will bring forth major changes.

Learn to love yourself. It might be hard but take the plunge. Go that extra mile.
Pamper yourself โ take a solo trip, watch a movie, treat yourself to some delectable cakes and pastries, go out and party with your friends.
Do what your heart says. Donโt hold yourself back any longer.
Donโt let stress and pressure eat away your life. Free yourself from the negativity, be it horrible ex-partners, selfish friends, or ruthless bosses. Distance yourself from them, for your own sanity.
Never let others walk all over you and label you as weak for your kindness and generosity. You are brilliant. You are worth all the goodness. Let no one tell you otherwise.
Bid adieu to your past that haunts you still. Move on. There are bigger, brighter things waiting. You wonโt get a feel of them if you donโt take that step forward.
