Well I figured I take a step forward and talk about some emotions and feelings. I'm not ready to go into lengthy details about myself but will share how we might feel. Anyone ever feel that are emotions are turned on like a light switch? We sometimes struggle looking for solutions to turn it off so we can get back to living happily.

Lonely

Sometimes being alone by yourself can be comforting and gives you time to reflect on things. On the other side of it there's times being alone can lead to feeling lonely. We may look at others and wish we had a peace of what they may have that we are missing. I think introverts out there are more prone to being lonely. I can imagine that some may want to connect with more people but struggle with it because it's awkward doing so. People who have abandoned us or those we just couldn't build a connection with can make us feel lonely as well.

Feeling Trapped

Some of us may have people in our lives where we feel are trapping us. Feelings of being caged because you feel like you are being limited on your potential. This feeling can be felt when we are expected to do way too much in a relationship. It could be that your with a person who refuses to compromise and do things that you desire. You could also feel trapped when you have lost feeling for someone that won't let you go. Maybe there are factors that we don't want to let go of and decide to stay trapped because of it.

Self Esteem

Often our feelings can create and generate others. Not all the time but some do intertwine with one another. Self esteem can lead us down a very dangerous road. No one likes to be made fun of or put down. This feeling could show up in people by others putting them down due to looks, race, intelligence, and many others. Other factors could be losing someone close, weight gain,finances, job loss, physical impairment, natural disasters and a laundry list of others. Often people with low self esteems will express themselves to us negatively and have nothing positive to say about their selves. I think this feeling is the easiest to see someone.

Turning it On

We humans can be pretty sensitive. Sometimes we fall into our feelings with recent events. We go to work have a bad day maybe you got displined by your boss. A great friend who is like a rock to you is gone due to a horrific car accident. Your driving home after working a very long shift and you lose focus and cut some one off, they pass you screaming everything fowl in the book. All of these events may jump start our emotions or feelings.

Our past can turn them on as well. I really think some of us make them happen on purpose. Maybe not intentionally but maybe something you see or hear bring backs the hurtful past and before you know it you are re-living it. Instead of brushing it off you decide to reflect on it. Maybe it is intentionally, imagine someone having issues and decides to revisit the past so they can sob or distract from the current feelings.

Turning it Off

I'm sure many of you know this already it's not an easy thing to do. We shouldn't turn off all our emotions because some of them are useful and need to run there course. We don't want to be soul less creatures after all. When we start to think less of ourselves or get into dark hole or have been dealing with it for too long than it's time.

There are several things to try. One great source is having someone to lean on. Believe it not talking about it with someone can be a quick heal. Another way is kind of change your mindset to believe that you have purpose. Do more things for yourself. Maybe start working out, being a healthier you will give you more energy making you more positive. Also try living a healthy lifestyle asides from working out eat a good diet. Often our bodies get tired from lack of nutrition. Being tired all the time makes it easier to fall into a depression state if you have issues going on. Another thing to do is just keep busy, plan things, do things, get a hobby, join a club, and etc. I wouldn't say do too much it's important to get plenty rest as well. Crying can be soothing way to cope as well but only if it is actually helping.

Probably the worst thing we can do is ignore them. The longer you put off the more likely it will get worse. Also never a good idea to influence your mind via alcohol or drugs. You might already have an emotional problem you don't need to have an addiction as well.

Final Thoughts

I had brain stormed this at the beginning and wanted to talk about some other feelings as well but I just rant too much, haha. I think our emotions and feelings can be turned on easily. Shutting them off is a little more difficult. I really believe we all have it in us somewhere to be strong enough to control it. I just ask that we all look out for one another and help each other out in times of need. As always thanks for stopping by!!
