Step 220 - sometimes you just need to take a break for a while

I'm learning to breathe no matter how I may feel.

Anxiety is caused by a switch and can be turned off for a better life coping with only life's anxieties instead of excess worrying.

You will recieve love if you give love.

Everything is okay!

Mindfulness and breathing with a little motivation will make you. Good luck everybody.

I've learned that I put way too much stock in emotions. Yes, emotions are an important part of life, but sometimes they're faulty. Just because I feel anxious, that doesn't mean that there is an actual threat; just because I feel depressed and disconnected from people, that does not mean that I am unloved. Sometimes I feel things that are not in line with reality. And all emotions are fleeting. It's not necessary to analyze them and find the cause all of the time. Sometimes there is no concrete reason for how you're feeling and it can be more hurtful than helpful to try to assign one. Sometimes it's better to let an emotion pass instead of discussing it, because that can give it too much power.

Well, it's been about 30 levels perhaps since I've posted what I've learnt. But I guess sometimes it only shows that things will not always go slow and steady. Sometimes to grow you have to be flexible enough to ride the strong wind, confident and skillful enough to not let it knock you over, and comfortable enough with the deep oceans that you trust yourself enough to know that even if you falter and fall, you know how to get back up and keep riding back to the sunny shore!
