Sometimes I forget...

In a world of constant change and where thousands of situations are presented to you every day it is difficult to maintain emotional stability, it is difficult to try not to let something affect you so much. No matter how hard you work on yourself, no matter how hard you try, it will always happen. Something will come along that will affect you, and you won't know what to do.

Sometimes I forget what to do and how I can help myself. I have had moments when a combination of situations made me lose my balance, take me to levels of stress that are difficult to handle and make my emotions run wild, making me get carried away by them. It is acceptable, it is understandable, I am a human being, and I must forgive myself for it.

I realized that it is not about having control of your emotions because you can’t control what you feel, it is something that happens and that's it! What you have to do is to know how to handle it, to have a way to compensate or balance that emotion. Things like repeating to yourself how incredible, strong and great you are helps to motivate you, along with breathing exercises.

Maybe these moments of intense emotion are necessary to know how it feels, how much it hurts, and how much we can grow. Spend time with that feeling, analyze it deeply, and find the root cause, where it comes from. What am I really feeling and why? Knowledge is power, and all the answers are within us.

You might say, "Keysi, how can you want to spend time with such painful feelings?" Well, if I don't, I will never understand them and every time they come up I will not know where they came from, nor how to handle them. I always say that life is about feeling. And it is not only about feeling the good, it is also about really feeling what’s there, whatever it is!

It's not about obsessing over things or feeding the feelings and live in pain, nothing like that! It's just to know what happens and that's it. Don't feel guilty of how you feel, understand that there is a lot behind what is affecting you right now (childhood issues, relationships, or personal traumas). Learn about yourself and be your best ally.

I am a sensitive and emotional being. Who isn’t? We all have our moments, the difference is in what to do. What I do to come back to myself and convince myself that what is happening is just momentary. That the current situation will pass, and other challenges will come, but I will have more wisdom to face them.

So start by letting go of everything, unload your emotions, let them take you wherever they want and let them show you what you feel. Don't suppress it, don't hold it in because it won't go anywhere unless you let it out. Then take a deep breath, talk to yourself and listen to yourself. There is always an inner voice that shows you things objectively and keeps you there, strong and steady. Little by little you will be convinced that things will be better, step-by-step everything will start to make sense. You’ll see.

We all forget to have emotional intelligence, but when we are in that difficult moment, there is always that inner voice that helps us along. So don’t ignore it. It is always important to work on ourselves internally and nurture who we are, and count in the fact that we have the power to pull through.

Key.
