Feelings of anxiety, anger, loneliness, and jealousy have immense power to pull us back. Living these feelings constantly drains vital energy and hurts physical and mental well-being.
We all know 👆 but when faced with negative thoughts and feelings, we fail to act meaningfully.
It is common knowledge that anything grows when we feed it; the same applies here. When we constantly think, speak, and act out of these gloomy feelings we keep feeding them and they keep getting stronger.
Denial is not a solution because in a typical social setup dark thoughts and insecurities are bound to exist. The trick is to accept and outgrow.
Following are some simple ways to make these feelings starve –
– Specific gratitude
We are very specific about what is wrong in our lives. Similarly, we should express ‘specific gratitude’. For example; “I am grateful that my husband was available to take my daughter to her tournament so I could focus on work and finish it.”
– Avoid idleness
An idle mind nourishes negative feelings. It is often said that if currently, you have nothing to pursue, it is good to pursue yourself. Investing your time and intelligence in acquiring and applying knowledge leaves little or no room for negativity to creep in.
– Focus on your Karma
Stay focused on your deeds, responsibilities, and habits. Do good and don’t let the others affect you.
* Be humble and kind.
* Don’t engage in small talk.
* Don’t shy away from your responsibilities.
* Forgive and forget
Another important fact is that these feelings keep coming to you because of different situations.
The 👆 steps have to be repeated till they become your second nature. That’s how the feeding and growth cycle curbs and the feelings start dying.
