Impacted Perspective

"It is therefore not necessarily the presence of an emotion

that is the problem but how we respond to it."

We cannot prevent emotions from occurring in our lives.  They are a part of the human experience and cause problems only through our reactions.  If we repress an emotion, it is similar to a sticky little seed.  It will begin to attract other similar feelings.  This is how thoughts become stuck within, and energy can become blocked which impacts our health.  

We display our repressed emotions in body language:  the way we walk, how we hold ourselves, and by our physical distance from others.  We develop internal sensations such as anxiety, indigestion, headaches or more serious ailments.  Clinging to our unresolved feelings, alters our mind set and our attitude towards ourselves as well as others.  Our perspective on living, surviving or thriving is impacted as well.

Ideally, we monitor ourselves closely enough to recognize the original feeling.  We can stay on neutral ground and acknowledge the emotion.  To take pause, one creates time to decide if there is any worth to the feeling or if we should just let it pass.  If there is something to be learned, then we can attend to it right away, and then let go.  

Storing our feelings, stuffing our emotions, or avoiding and denying thoughts do nothing more but create building drama.  Our sense of being light hearted is lost, joy evaporates, and we are pulled away from our core beauty.  It is imperative to remember we have free will and many options are open to us.  To make a decision lessens the damage of any emotional buildup and the physical calamities that can follow.
