I Only Focus on What Makes Me Feel Good
We go through some stages when we need to decide on our priorities. Whenever possible, we should avoid being enslaved by expectations that harm us unknowingly and from things that make us feel bad.
Sometimes we can act freely without caring about the opinions of others. There are times when other opinions are not important and at such times we just want to take a deep breath and relax and be ourselves.
At certain times in our lives, we get rid of the idea that we should be concerned with the problems of others rather than our own. Other people's problems also wear us out; so it would be a good idea to distance ourselves from them. In this way, we indirectly empty our minds and become aware of who we are.
In order to be happy, we must distance ourselves from certain things.
To be happy, we must avoid suppressing our emotions. Trying to block an emotion will affect us more later on. For example, most of us try to suppress our feelings of unhappiness.
We fail to realize that being happy comes from accepting, understanding ourselves, and allowing ourselves to experience our emotions. We must not forget that all our feelings deserve to be expressed.
This is about self-knowledge and personal growth. If we think of our face as a puzzle, unhappiness will also be a part of this puzzle, and when we hide our fears, our smile will disappear as a result.
So why? Because we ignore the part of us that is trying to tell us something, whereas this feeling also needs to be heard. Therefore, we must set our feelings free and express our feelings without hiding.
Freeing the emotions is the key to happiness
Living emotions freely is the cornerstone of mental health. Focusing on understanding how we feel and letting go of our emotions helps to purify our soul.
We can reach maturity by not holding back when we want to cry, experiencing our joy, and showing it when we are angry.
To reach this maturity, we must develop our awareness ability, which enables us to be more interested in what is and how we feel. This means being aware of everything that is going on around us.
It would also be a good idea to review our habits. We can make it a habit to write down how we feel or what's going on around us during the day. Concentrating on emotional experiences is the best way to satisfy our neglected need for expression.
Reconnect with your emotional side
Both the good and bad sides of our experiences are stored in our brains. The brain processes everything, loads and unloads information. The intensity of the conflicts in our minds and the emotions we express are felt in the amygdala, our emotional watchdog.
Besides the hippocampus, this is where every emotional event resides. The amygdala's function of storing memories and experiences is also the reason why we sometimes get answers to the questions we ask, and sometimes we don't.
In fact, if we train our brain, we do not perceive every emotional event as trauma and we can easily get over it. The amygdala, which is responsible for 'remembering' the emotional past, together with the prefrontal cortex will facilitate the processing and regulation of different emotions.
For this reason, it is necessary to list the brain in alphabetical order and not let the things we feel leave this order. At certain times, we must realize that we are actually building a wall between us and the realities in our lives and rejecting what our emotions are trying to tell us.
