Have you ever asked yourself why some days I feel so unique, and some of them I feel so sad? There are so many factors that we can’t even count all of them. For example:
- bad weather
- dismissal from work
- breaking up with a partner
- quarrel with relatives
- loss of money
- car breakdown
And so many other examples you could imagine that will take you away from the flow you have used to. For example, a year ago, a bad situation happened near my house, breaking my windows.
At least I stayed alive, I thought at that moment. Nevertheless, after that situation, I was worried about things I would have to do like these:
- find a master to fix it
- spend money to pay
- wait until all items are ready
- spend several days while the whole work people will finish
It can be stressful to delegate tasks, but it’s important to trust others. We may feel upset, depressed, and without any mood.
I have found several methods to get back on the rails after similar things that happened to me. They can help you as well.
The first approach is to concentrate on your feelings. And when I say about feelings, I mean all of them:
- breathing
- touching
- listening
- smelling
- seeing
All your monitors that connect your brain to the world you should take. It would be best if you concentrated on them.
Why do we need this? Usually, all our worries and bad feelings come from our thoughts about the past or the future.
If you concentrate on your feelings, then your mind is entirely focused on the current moment. And it’s impossible to think about two things simultaneously, so you don’t think about anything else besides the present moment, and you feel better.
It’s the most potent tool and approach you can try alone. Also, nobody said that you can’t try other things like:
- breathing
- meditation
- walking
- sleeping
- reading
These methods are fantastic! And because of their simplicity, it’s so good to use daily. If you want a quick process, try to use the first one I have written before.
Additionally, I want to share some other articles with you as well. If you like this one, then you will likely find benefits from the next ones as well.
Enjoy it!
