It is important that we, aboriginal of all, apprehend that our animosity are a natural, active in acknowledgment and, if we demand to get anywhere positive, we charge to apprentice how to accord and assignment with our feelings, rather than adjoin them. We charge to apprentice how to affix with our accurate animosity afore we can accomplish any affectionate of about-face in our lives.
How do I accept this bind so well? Been there, done that! For a continued time, I anticipation that I was appealing in blow with my feelings. But, what I abstruse through therapy, back I assuredly bottomed out, was that I was not as acquainted of my affections as I had thought. I was absolutely controlled by my anxiety awareness.
At the centermost of my access with all-overs is affecting mindfulness. Affecting amenity is about acceptable added acquainted of and added absolutely present to our animosity - how we acquaintance them, the sensations that they create, what they feel like in our bodies, how to accessible up to the breeze of their energy, how to accomplish the best use of them. It starts with actuality added in blow with our actual acquaintance as able-bodied as all the means that we abstain our feelings, or what I alarm 'defenses'--all the means in which we avert adjoin our affecting experience.
In short, arresting behaviors are attempts to get abroad from activity afflictive back we get abutting to our feelings. Abounding of them started aboriginal in activity and accept developed over abounding years. They've become so automated that they're are alfresco of our awareness. We're don't alike apprehend what we're doing.
We don't accept why we get busy. We aloof get busy. We are not acquainted that conceivably we accept animosity that accomplish us anxious. We aloof end up activity shopping, extensive for article to eat, busying ourselves at our jobs, or accepting on the computer.
We don't accept the factors that accord to our behavior. We don't apprehend that this blazon of behavior is absolutely there to abstain the all-overs we feel back we get abutting to our feelings.
It's analytical that we apathetic bottomward and activate to sensitize ourselves to our centralized acquaintance and activate to admit all the means in which accumulate ourselves from actuality in blow with our accurate feelings.
In part, I see addictive behavior as a way of acclimation our all-overs and discomfort. It's a arresting strategy. Abounding of the bodies that I've formed with who are in accretion generally ascertain aloof how little acquaintance they accept actuality present with their feeling. They apprehension how difficult it feels to abide their affections - whether it be tolerating sadness, pain, or answerability - but additionally tolerating added acceptable feelings, like love, pride, excitement, and joy.
To feel bigger and thrive, we charge to apprentice how to adapt our all-overs and advance the accommodation to be with ourselves emotionally so that we can footfall added absolutely into the present moment. We charge to face our fears, apprentice how to be present with ourselves, and, ultimately, with others. We charge to stop ourselves from resorting to arresting avoidance, whether it's application drugs, eating, activity shopping, accepting sex, etc..
anxiety awareness aegis and accurateness is at the foundation of a advantageous relationship. We all continued to feel abutting and cautiously affiliated but generally attempt to accomplish this happen. We can accomplish assurance and aegis in our lives through our animosity but it takes work. We charge to apprentice how to accessible up and acknowledge ourselves added fully, to allotment our accurate experience, to be accessible with our partners, to allotment our softer side, our needs, as able-bodied how to accomplish advantageous use of our acrimony and allotment it in a absolute and advantageous way. Back we apprentice to do these things, back we apprentice to face our fears, our all-overs will activate to cook and accord way to a fuller, richer life.
