Unexplained Emotions

Have you ever experienced emotions that made no sense? Have you thought to yourself, "I feel awful but cannot place where or why I feel this way?"

You may have given it a feeble try and came up with something like it must be hormones, the season change, or the full moon?

This may be the time you blame your "anxiety" or "depression".

You may have no idea what is going on, but you need to blame something!

What if we experienced emotions that made no sense, and we weren't meant to know? What if we sometimes feel other's pain? What if our body decided it's time to release an emotion that up till now we weren't ready to feel or face?

It can be easy to spin out, trying to figure out why you don't feel amazing. Instead of asking what is causing the negative emotion, and why do I feel this way, pause and ask yourself how can I process this? How can I be gentle with myself? See if it passes smoother and quicker.

Remember, when you are hard on yourself for feeling something you can't explain, there tends to be a trickle effect on the people you love.

Asking yourself a silly question such as, "What is wrong with me?" does not produce a good outcome. It creates shame, and then you feel even worse. Shame always creates a cycle of despair and nothing positive.

Be gentle with yourself! Emotions don't always need to be understood. Sometimes we need to sit with them and let them flow through.

When the emotion has vibrated out, and you have access to your logical brain again, you may understand why you felt that way or you might not.

Here is the best news...

Emotions cannot hurt you, and they never stay forever.

They are like waves, eventually, roll out!
