Feelings are much like waves, we can’t stop them from coming but we can choose which one to surf. ~Jonatan Mårtensson
The world is full of so much energy, its easy to absorb what others are putting out.
I used to be so deeply affected by other’s energy and emotions, that I would be worked up or emotionally drained for days, half the time not realizing why.
This past year I have worked to understand my emotions … where they come from and how they are used so that my energy is expressed in a healthy, productive way.
This seems to throw others off, when they have been so used to getting an emotional response from me, and are instead greeted with calmness and logic. Yes, life is filled with emotional moments, but there are plenty that do not deserve our energy or emotional response.
Today I sit reflecting and feeling … an issue has come up that has some close to me terribly worked up. I sit and feel the energy moving through me instead of being stuck to my heart or my mind, my muscles are extracting the energy and pumping it through me in a positive way. I don’t feel upset or sick to my stomach, as if the energy were unused adrenaline. I feel peace at knowing my truth in the situation and trusting that it will all work itself out for the better, regardless of the outcome.
Life is too short to hold onto stress and anxiety, and today I choose peace.
