Greetings my dear friends of reah.cash, today I have come up with another post that will please you.

It happened that a psychologist was with his discussion group when he happens to show them a crystal glass with water in it and asks them....

"How much do you think this glass with the water weighs?"

And they all started to count, 200 ml, 250 ml, 300 ml. And so on. To which the psychologist adds....

β€œThe exact weight is not so important, I explain. If we hold this glass in the air for a few minutes it does not weigh much, if we hold it for several hours there will come a time when our arm will hurt, but if we hold it in the air all day long our arm will surely become numb and paralyzed.”

From unsplash.

And he goes on to say β€œIt happens with the emotions that cause us pain, sadness, anger, frustration, if we think about them for a while we will surely forget them quickly, if we spend a lot of time with those feelings I assure you that it will hurt for a while but if we think about them all the time it will weigh so much on our body that it will paralyze us. It will be impossible to continue with the expected rhythm of life and it will limit us in our daily life.”

When I read it I thought about the feelings I have had this time and I agree with this psychologist that I don't know but he has hit the nail on the head.

I have to work on my thinking and on releasing the feeling of pain, grief in life has a time, it goes through some phases and then we have to let it go.

It simply wipes us out, it takes away our strength, we allow ourselves to be carried away by the power of the mind that says we must cry and stay in the pain. If we allow pain to take over our life we will be enslaved to it.

So we have to let it go, we have to release our feelings and start to get back on the track of commonality.

Life is a myriad of emotions, some are pleasant and others are unpleasant. The best thing to do is to go ahead and always keep moments of joy in our hearts so that when we are discouraged, the mere memory of them will make us smile.

In many occasions remembering those happy moments makes us smile so much that to the people around us we can give an impression of being crazy.

I don't know if it has happened to you but it happens to me often because my mind is very playful. Especially when I travel on a bus I often get lost in my thoughts.

Such thoughts have made me, besides smiling, make a little laugh that seems to make the people next to me stare at me and I observe this kind of look that makes judgments at first sight.

I tell them that it is already characteristic in me, so I leave those looks quickly. I want to continue to enjoy my cheerful imagination and not see those wrinkled faces of people whose world is falling down on them.

I sometimes prefer my solitude in company and believe me I enjoy it more than being with some people with their boisterous laughter of jokes with double intentions and interspersed with obscene words that give more strength to their jokes.

Fellow readers, we must learn to know our strengths in order to discern at the right time the best course of action to follow. That is why I choose life, I choose joy, I choose my dreamy and creative mentality of joyful and comfortable spaces. I choose good-hearted people like you, who although I do not know you in person, I know you from reading.

Thank you for your support, for always being there, for being readers' family. I thank you for your special posts, for your nice reads, for your different personalities.

I thank all my readers, commenters, voters and continued sponsors. A special greeting to @tired_momma @Eylz2021 for renewing her sponsorship and to my dear @TengoLoTodo and my friend @BCH_LOVER for being my new sponsors.

I agree with you ma'am We shouldn't always be rattled by external events and occurences. If we could on longer enough and be calm, we'd realised that it wasn't has bad as we had imagined and it would be easier for us to move on.

Everytime I am listening to music my mind would travel.back to a scene or memoriea I had based on what is the current song is playing. If it is sad, then I remember those sad moments of my life, that is why I guess I looked weird while listening to music. And speaking on emotions, I have read it too that are body are really affected by it. I came to think maybe that's the reason why I got a weak lungs .

Human nature is unpredictable as always. They'd love to dominate and take advantage from others. It's quite bothersome but if he/she deal with those circumstances, i bet they smile the last.

this is a useful analogy and one that is often true in life. when problems come our lives will certainly be disturbed when we often think about the problem. but if we ignore it we will become calmer.

That's the best thing we can do in this life. Choose to be positive and choose to be happy. When we are happy there is nothing that could stop us from being positive.

It's very true, that's why sometimes people tell me that I don't care about everything, but it's simple, I don't want to stay in a moment of displeasure and I try to forget it quickly, I don't give it importance. I want my life to be simple without complications and to have what I need to continue.

I agree sis, we have to let go of those pains and sad thoughts so we can enjoy life at the present and we can keep moving forward.

I also had that moment sis that even I'm in public place i just suddenly smile because I remember some happy moments in my life. Sometimes people would stare at me and have that question look on why I suddenly smile but i just ignored it...So happy to be one of your supporter sis. God bless you always!

I like this article. I somehow relate when holding so much pain and emotions inside that it starts consuming me gradually. But I know when releasing and accepting the facts that I should have released them feels great inside.

Sometimes it is difficult because it depends on how much that pain has touched our heartstrings. But by understanding the weight we carry, we free ourselves from those burdens.

I agree with you maam. If we allow hurtings in our lives to take over it will surely enslave us. So we have to release those feelings, keep moving forward and try to do the best things that will lead to happy moments in life. πŸ’•πŸ’ͺ
