What do you think it would be to apply the saying lazy and cooperative to a moment like these? What do you think it would be like to be in the presence of those uncomfortable emotions and moments without seeking an immediate distraction?
Of course it is difficult to know ourselves in realities that we do not like! And feeling that a change is necessary because those things that were once pleasant or normal today feel heavy, they have stopped fulfilling a mission in us and begin to generate a feeling of heaviness that many times you do not know where it comes from, you can only Recognize that you are anxious, sad, melancholic or whatever that low appears for you.
Being able to be in the presence of these unpleasant emotions makes it easier for us to integrate the compass that provides coordinates to our body, that is, the emotions, which tell us where the path to follow is and is not. Emotions and thoughts are generated by all kinds of things, our body is like a large antenna that is always emitting and receiving information so even those emotional states may sometimes not belong to you, and are related to situations that are affecting the people around you, seriously, that’s how complex human beings are and the levels of interconnection that we can achieve!
According to the theory of morphogenetic fields, when a baby is forming in the womb, it is resonating not only with information from its mother, but also from the ancestors of its biological parents and this is how it can inherit thought patterns, behaviors, habits, etc. both family trees.
So, my recommendation to begin to get out of an emotional slump is to inhabit the space of the question daily, identifying if what you feel is really yours, analyzing which spaces in your life are making you feel expanded or small. Being in tune with the question again and again is breaking with the absolute identification that we have created with our emotions and thoughts, transforming those states is becoming a magician who plays with the elements at hand he knows that his mind is used to seeing reality in a particular way and that is why he does not allow himself to be there for long, he listens to his mind, but he also knows how to put it aside, that is the job of the mind, to think and throw ideas, sometimes those thoughts are internal allies or saboteurs.
For this reason, the magician wants magic in his life, this is seen in his ability to be surprised, in the constant search to not inhabit the routine in a rigid way, he allows himself to explore more of what makes him feel fulfilled, without turning it into a a lifesaver.
The magician takes enough from his reality and nature, that is another of his qualities, he recognizes his needs and satisfies them, but avoids taking too much or creating attachments, he knows the danger of the latter, he knows the risk involved in setting the compass of his well-being outside, he is committed to learning to calibrate his, he knows that there are never absolute paths, He can explore many possibilities at the same time because his goal is one: transform his reality with the elements he has and integrate more
The question here is, what elements do you have? Are you not seeing them or don’t you want to see them? Are you holding on to that outdated image of yourself? Our mind needs to be rejuvenating and contraction is a request to open space for the new, to do this, you must let in a little chaos that shakes your world, that moves those bases that no longer work and those folders of information that you do not know. They belong and one day you adopted them as yours.
The downturns are the opportunity to see yourself, but also to realize how much there is around you to help you get out of there, recognize your progress, develop that capacity for wonder at what is beautiful in your life, recognize that just for today you decided to get out of bed, have a different breakfast, be in the presence of your emotion, you danced, you wrote and when you least thought about it the energy changed.
And what if you use it daily? If you make part of your life those safe spaces where you can be you, cultivating being in the presence of yourself, and when you least expect it, you will no longer be turning to them only when you are bad or sad, on the contrary, they became the spaces that nourish your soul with seeds of plenitude. This is how you integrate the emotional downturn into your life and prevent it from taking on a relevant weight when it appears in your day
