EMOTIONS

ROLL THE DICE

Emotions are a topic that I have dealt with for a lot of years. It goes hand in hand with my mental health. I need to monitor my emotions in order to maintain my level of health. Lately for me every morning it feels like I wake up in the morning and roll the emotional dice. That depicts what my day will be like. I know though that living this way gives up control and allows me to live with no responsibility over my emotions. This is a slippery slope for me as then I start to believe that I can’t improve it. Recognising that I do have emotions and I do have the skills to keep things upbeat is important. I am not saying that being sad and depressed never happens cause it does. Over the years though I have collected a sets tools to use. This way the sadness doesn’t hit me quite as hard. So I am starting to remember to put away the dice, and acknowledge my feelings so that I can deal with it. You can’t use tools on something you don’t recognise.
