🇺🇸 Here is English version, translated by me.
This happened many years ago:
I moved out of our house.
I was staying with a friend of mine.
The rest of the world didn't know anything about it.
It was too embarrassing.
Only a few close friends were aware of what was really going on in my life.
So now that you have this "background" imagine:
It's Saturday evening.
I'm sitting on the floor in the living room of the house where I am temporarily living.
I am writing in my journal, crying.
I am filled with fear, despair.
I am terrified of what could happen next.
But I am determined to “sit with my pain”.
Why?
Because I know this is supposed to be "healthy".
I shouldn't be avoiding myself.
I should give myself space to feel what’s been brewing inside for a while.
So I am sitting, writing in my journal and since I am writing my thoughts and thoughts create feelings... I am suffering.
( FYI I had no clue that my thoughts created my feelings back then. NO CLUE)
So I'm looking for a solution...
Maybe I will find it in this pain.
It’s not an easy task.
I am trying to find something I’ve never been able to find before.
I don’t know how to do it…
I am searching but I don’t have a map.
I don’t have directions.
I don’t have a clue.
I spent that whole evening suffering and crying.
Have you ever had this happen to you?
Have you ever been in this spot?
Where you are so desperate for a solution to your problem, you are willing to go through the dark night of the soul?
Drop into heavy emotion for a long period of time, searching for wisdom?
Solution to a problem that seems to be 100% outside of your control?
Isn’t this what you're supposed to do, when you're stuck?
Feel the pain?
Feel the depth of suffering?
Yes. Yes that is healthy... but not for that long.
There is no need…
It's good to connect with the pain you are feeling.
It is good to witness it.
Absolutely, but staying in that spot ALL EVENING? Not neccessary! Not for 4 hours!
The only benefit to this suffering is that today I feel inspired to write to you about it.
It was so heavy, it's easy for me to go back into it... I remember the depth of this pain well.
Today this experience gives a great contrast to what I do when heavy emotions emerge within me.
Today I would never treat myself to such a "ride".
Why? I know it's not needed.
I’ve learned tools that help me address it in a very effective way.
The art of transmutation.
When dealing with difficult emotions you need to use your prefrontal cortex.
Feel the pain, but also analyze it.
Ask questions.
Get as much info as possible.
Find out how the mental body creates this emotion within the emotional body.
How the energy of the emotional body affects the physical body. Where exactly?
So is suffering necessary? Yes, for a bit…
It’s really beneficial if you use it:
- to understand yourself,
- to feel the contrast and find the depth of experience,
- and then give yourself exactly what you need after going through something this heavy.
This is the value of personal development.
The value of knowing how to transmute pain.
When you know what to do with your emotions, when you find yourself in a really difficult situation, You don't have to suffer like I did that evening. All You need is a moment. Just a moment.
So the next time you feel:
- despair,
- frustration,
- sadness,
- terrified,
- nervous,
- longing,
- fear,
- or any other "heavy feeling"
Thanks to the previous analysis, you will already have a lot of information about it,
it will be so much easier for you to recognize it.
You will know how to handle it well.
How to experience it consciously and how to take care of yourself after.
You won’t be sweeping your pain under the carpet.
You won’t be pretending you are not suffering.
You are going to be important enough to yourself to do something about it.
This is self love in action.
This is being kind to yourself.
This is knowing how to be your best friend.
Yes friends, there are tools available that help us create that incredible relationship with ourselves.
I teach those tools during sessions to my 1/1 clients.
You’ve got everything you need.
I will just teach you how to access it and utilize it.
Do you find yourself on a rollercoaster?
You have great days and then you have many, many very bad days.
You feel like you are not fully in control.
But you are ready to change it.
You realize that unless You do something about it, nothing will change.
Reach out.
I will help.
Send me a Direct Message with 3 possible times you could meet with me for a 30 minute online talk. Give me 3 options, and I will choose the one that works best with my schedule.
