Take stock of your current emotion

Taking stock of your current feelings and emotion is a given before you can set out to restore yourself to where you want to be. It is imperative that you always have a pen and notebook to hand to jot down those fluctuating states of mind so that you can deal with them. Reducing feelings to writing helps with creating a balance between understanding and resolution. It is going to take some inner soul searching and in-depth honesty to deal with it. It is of no personal value to yourself both mentally and physically to beat yourself up about all life’s difficulties. So often we create these situations ourselves without realising how much self -harm we cause and often irreparable damage that comes with it. The thing is that it is not only the harm we do ourselves but also to the people round us. That is something that we should never lose sight of in the future. After all, if they genuinely mean something to you then why do you want to hurt them physically or emotionally? The question is posed then why we seem to have that self-destruct button tucked away somewhere and cannot wait to press it at a moment’s notice. What is that “something” that invokes an emotion that suddenly overwhelms our internal thoughts and says “go on …. Press it now. “That demon that takes hold and will not let go no matter how hard you try.
