Processing your emotions is Not Easy

Grief- ie:- our Response to Rejection, requires attention. Grief comes at different levels, and  can be Concrete, (as in the meaningful loss of a dear one), or Complex, (when following Grose Disappointment). In the First Place, recognize that your Grief is Real and Valid, and then give yourself Permission to Grieve. Often we discount our Grief, thinking of Worst State Scenarios. Part of the healing Process, is to Spend all the time you need to Process your Loss, and Plan your Recovery Process. Engage in Mindful Activities for healing, rather than Mindless Activities, that are just distraction. Consider the P.A.T.H. approach.

-Pause                  – Stop and Think through you Plan

-Acknowledge    – What you are feeling and Why

-Think                  -About what you are Feeling, and how you are going to Follow Through

-Help                    -Devise your Plan of Healing, and reach out for Support if you need to

Attitude to successful Relationships has always been an important aspect of Life-skills, – however today, as Western Civilization catapults toward ….??? What??….,we seem to be overwhelmed by Pressure rather than being ‘’Happy in Life’’ and enjoying ‘’Pleasure’’ and ‘’Fulfillment’’. As our Lifestyles rush for Deeper Education, more involved Career Commitment, and Greater Sports Representation, Life moves at an unprecedented pace, and we are finding less and less time, for Family, Creativity, and development of Relationships. In this age of Instant Gratification, and quick changes to whatever suits at the time, speed, has lead us to a ‘’Tick & Flick’’ lifestyle with a lack of valuing and appreciation. In this mode, Love & Belonging is put on the back burner, Power comes to the fore, so reaching and grabbing for whatever catches the attention. Freedom then comes at a fast pace without commitment, or responsibility, and Fun becomes a style of quick thrills. The problem with this style of living, is that it has little value, and leads to Soul searching, developing emotions of ’’meaningless’’, ‘’hollowness’’, and ‘’loneliness’’, crushing valued Emotional Response, destroying Creativity, so moving on to ‘’hopelessness’’ and ”isolation”. Lack of Nurturing, as babies/children are given a bottle to suck while propped up on the couch in front of the Television Set, as the Family/Surrounding Community is fixated with the latest Device and Social Media. This Fixation has now been recognised as a modern day Addiction. We need to look at the exciting system that amazingly connected us Internationally, but has now been recognized as being responsible for Solitude and Isolation.
