Riding the Crazy Train
Understanding Emotions, Thoughts, and Feelings
Download/Share: http://bit.ly/emocrazytrain
Format: Doc Pages: 135
What it is About:
The only time we think about our feelings and emotions are when we are actively engaging with them. Like when you explode in anger, break down in tears, burst with joy, or die from embarrassment. And we don’t analyze these feelings for what they are. We don’t try to find meaning. When we feel bad, we judge and criticize ourselves, our actions, thoughts or behaviors. When we feel good, we can easily second guess ourselves, think we are undeserving or expect something to ruin it. When we feel indifferent, we can feel confused. We think, is there something wrong with me that I don’t care? And finally, when we lose control we can feel like we are riding the crazy train. But you know what? Everybody rides that train with you. Why?
Because that is what our brains do.
Your feelings and emotions matter. They mean something to you. They affect your life. They are a part of you. It’s normal. The secret is to own them and not let them own you. We do this with mindful self-care. Before we dig into what that even means, let’s hack the brain and understand what feelings and emotions are, where they come from and why they make you crazy.
You are so hard on yourself
Take a moment. Sit back.
Look at the wonder of your life
...the love that softened you
...the burdens that wisened you
...the grief that strengthened you
...the hard lessons that taught you
Despite it all
You grow
Be proud of you
