do you understand your feelings?
May 20, 2023 3:16 pm
If creating a remarkable life is of interest to you, it is deeply linked to understanding why you feel how you feel.
Thousands of variables go into this.
One of the prime categories which those variables branch from is emotion.
The more capable one is at unraveling the depth behind their emotion, the clearer reality becomes. Living a stressed, depressed and confused life is a choice.

Accepting there's room to grow
What is the opposite of learning from emotion? This is the average Joe, dare I say.
No blame on these people, I'm not judging nor putting them down.
"I don't know what I don't know"...
They simply do not see how much more joy they could experience on a moment to moment basis. To learn from emotion one has to first admit that they feel a certain way.
This is probably one of the core roadblocks to emotional growth, in other words, denial or close mindedness.
The average Joe goes through their days without reflecting, rather, they move from distraction to distraction so swiftly that there's rarely a moment to ponder about potentially feeling different than they currently do.
There is this gentle flute within that you hear every once and awhile, hinting that you may be capable of feeling different.
Many humans block it out and numb it.
Realizing that you may have to change your actions, beliefs and overall lifestyle is threatening to the mind...
And that's frequently why the idea of changing is ignored.

What's the pain threshold?
To learn implies that some sort of change has been understood.
Wither it's physically or psychologically, or both.
See, It's tough to say, but many humans would rather stay attached to their current world-view and frequent feelings of suffering instead of adapting and creating a higher quality experience.
The question is, are you willing to admit you are in pain?
And how much pain are you willing to tolerate?
If one is absolutely honest about this, you are essentially embarking on the fulfilling life path.
The path which creates a fresh, healthy mind, body and spirit.
Now those three categories are the structure of the path, each individuals content will change drastically.
What you do specifically is going to be your individual adventure, yet the broader principles of the journey will be understood by others on the path.
The initiation of this whole thing is founded upon being honest with oneself, realizing that there's massive potential within.
You are okay as you are, don't let this make you feel angry or anything of that nature.
What I'm aiming to convey, is you are okay and you can feel more than okay.

Making the differentiations
How to unravel ones emotion?
We admit we feel a certain way.
We accept we want to feel more balanced.
Now it isn't too complex, it's time to look at what we do with our energy and attention.
What habits do we partake in?
I'll split it into two categories.
There are high frequencies and low frequencies.
Take everything I say with a grain of salt, see, we all go through phases and what I may label low frequency may be a bit better than an even lower frequency that you are experiencing.
Point is, there is a scale when we talk about frequencies.
For example, the emotion of anger is low frequency, that said, it's higher on the scale than a feeling of guilt or shame.
Practically speaking, anger is more likely to probe an action that could change you for the better than shame is.
Shame doesn't usually encourage any action, rather it tends to create the cycle of helpless victim thought.
So a little task for the sincere people, write out all your physical and psychological habits and split them into what you think is healthy and un-healthy.
Then just pick one from the shit list and replace it with a new healthy habit.
Start slow.

The granular details
The power of understanding frequencies will allow you to navigate your emotions significantly better.
There are 'minuscule' shifts that compound to affect your subconscious drastically.
90-95% of what we do is subconsciously determined...
For example, the language and the words that one uses Truly affect what you become.
To say things such as, I "can't", or I'll "try", you essentially fail before even starting when you leave that space open for not executing at your best.
Also, tightly linked to language is what you think and speak about.
If you just listen to someone deeply they tell you so much about their quality of mind and life.
If someone chooses to talk about something externally that they can't control and they are angry, fearful or any other low frequency emotion this is an entire story in itself.
There's no need to talk about that stuff, unless we are talking solutions that are in our control.
If you can't positively affect it then why stress about it?
Many humans are un aware that they create their own hell on earth by living in this way.
I label this act the "outsourcing of emotion".

Take it moment by moment
So if you feel stressed and upset often, the fact that you're reading this is a sign.
It's time to feel better.
How to practically go about this?
To feel better, you combine many different healthy tools, systems and tactics.
The foundation to this is your mind and being a life long learner.
Not being in a rush to get to a certain materialistic position.
Rushing is a great way to feel like trash.
There are things I know that I struggle to put into words, so I choose to share the methods which got me to a certain understanding.
To feel better, you have to invest in your health physically and mentally.
Which involves the combination of, action, trust, consistency and iteration.
You mix those concepts which practical habits for navigating your energy and recharging your energy efficiently and this is a powerful direction.
I'll list some habits before I conclude.
If you are Truly sincere there has to be a switch that is made within your mind, you have to make a full on commitment to what feels right internally.
Not what Joe or Grandpa tells you to do and think, but what you KNOW feels healthy inside.
Now it's okay to hear people, just saying don't value everyone's opinions above your own.
You'll know when there is someone who Truly is to be listened to. (they will let you find your way)
P.S. I have a couple open 1:1 slots, reply to this if you are sincere about bettering your life.
(Slots will be filled in the near future)

Creating the foundation
What's so interesting is how the concept of programming works within humans.
The more we do a certain thing, or practice a style of living the harder change becomes.
I think.
This is why I touch on habits so much.
So I'll list some amazing ones.
Habits: (in no specific order)
-exercising
-healthy nutrition
-reading
-stretching
-writing
-chess
-deep conversation
-studying lectures or podcast
-breath work
The key to all these habits is being versatile.
I listed all general categories, but there are so many differing variations.
The thing that's helped me so much is starting with one style and evolving patiently.
Being open to new ways.

So Truly, be honest with yourself, do you know that you could feel better?
If yes, raise that standard for how you see yourself.
Begin to prioritize your feelings and lifestyle.
Nobody can do it for you.
Self-educate and apply what you learn.
Action.
Trust.
Iteration.
Consistency.
Ask: What direction am I headed?

Listen, I'm grateful for all of you who focus their attention enough to read this work.
Truly, I value you.
This sort of self-education WILL drastically compound for you.
