How to deal with overwhelming emotions when alone. Part 1

This is a guide for those who have to live trough too much anxiety, sadness, stress and uncertainty all by themselves, a path to help them find a way to navigate trough those difficulties without needing anyone.

There are a myriad of reasons on why many are alone when dealing with the harshness of life, be it by choice or circumstances it's still is one of the most difficult challenges a person can face, it requires an extreme amount of willpower and strength to endure your troubles in that situation, feeling helpless and hopeless isn't uncommon at all and it doesn't make you 'weak' or 'dramatic'.

So when you encounter yourself in this situation, what should you do? the answer can be found in the steps I shall write next.

1 - Create a true and honest bond with who you are

By this I mean that you need to be your best friend, literally treat yourself the exact same way you would treat the most beloved person in your life, don't be judgmental or harsh, have compassion and patience with yourself and never insult or belittle the person you are for whatever reason, as an example, if your best friend committed a heavy mistake, would you accuse and insult him continuously? or would you offer a shoulder for him to rely on, a ear so he can tell how he feels and the love of someone who truly cares about him? Create an habit of acting this way towards yourself, laugh and cry as if there were two different people in your mind.

With time you will see how much of your anxiety, sadness and stress will reduce as your emotional pillar start to be you and no one else, facing challenges and hard situations with a smile on your face becomes easier and easier, eventually you will feel as if in love with living, as you are always with someone who you have 100% certainty that loves you more than anything else.

To achieve this kind of self-love you need to make the effort, following behaviors similars to the ones listed below:

always take note of the insults you give yourself, write them down and challenge each one at a time with comprehension and love, the same way you would do if you saw a child crying because she thinks she isn't good enough for something.

Always remind you daily on the reasons why you love yourself, exactly like you would do to your partner and soul mate

Lastly always be honest and let your emotions be heard, don't try to hide how you feel, let sadness, rage, envy and every negative feeling flow trough your mind, experience them without judging and try to understand why you feel them, let your inner child talk and be accepted.

This is the first step towards complete emotional autonomy, I shall write more on the topic after further research, if you find what I wrote useful please share, like and comment on any question you may have
