Emotional Mastery
When things become uncertain, overwhelming, daunting, disturbing, distressing, dark, when you’re feeling trapped, torn, burdened beyond bearing, use the STOP sign to stop in the moment, to stop the moment, visualize the letters and the word and STOP.
Sit with the emotion, feel where it hurts, notice and follow it in your body if it’s in more than one place.
Take some deep breaths in and out, notice the air as it comes into and out of your body, focus on your breathing, focus, direct your breathing to the place of pain until you feel some of the tension, toxic, tumultuous energies leave your body.
Open up your soul for release, a mind for relief, body for replenishment.
Open up your thoughts to other possibilities beside or beyond the only one your mind is telling you is the only reality, you might find that; that mega problem is not as mighty as you thought, that there may indeed be a way through, a way out, there might be other ways.
Permit yourself to feel what you’re feeling, to not feel ok, to give yourself some time to get through, to make a mistake and make amends where possible, to ask for help, to care for yourself, to let yourself be cared for.
Pray. Pray for ease and peace. Pray to your Lord for serenity in your soul, to find sanctuaries in spaces in creation, from connection, through reflection, in His Exaltation.
Pray to be given strength to feel, face-up, fight for, find what you need to be well, to be alright, to not only survive each time but to thrive through the times.
