Negative Emotions
January 18th, 2008
Negative emotions will always be around as long as we live. Awhile ago, I was talking to a friend of mine who recently had a break up with his girlfriend of seven years. He was cheated upon but the problem is that he swallowed everything and accepted his girl back. After a couple of days, that she promised that everything will be alright, he accidentally saw them in a mall looking very happy together. While talking to this friend of mine, I felt that he was starting to lose his mind. He was thinking crazy. He said he wants his girlfriend so bad that he still wants to push through with the wedding. I felt so ashamed for him. He did not in anyway deserve it. So I gave him a piece of my mind.
I told him that the longer this goes on, it will become very harmful to him and to everyone around him. He has to move on and take things one step at a time. I told him to rationalize things and do not just let his negative emotions run over him. After talking we took a walk along our favorite shore. I took him there because we find this place very relaxing. While walking, I told him that he has to learn from his mistakes. Learn from them and take it as a challenge. Lastly, and probably the best advice, he has to learn how to let go of the things that hurt him. The past has a lot of great things but the present is where we live in, not the past. So he has to let go and live his current life.
Dealing with negative emotions is not as easy as it sounds. You have to battle against yourself and you must do all that you can to win this war.
