Don't Cater To Your Emotions

No body cares about your emotions.

No one really wants to listen to how hard it is.

You shouldn’t either.

If you’ve had your heart broken, you know the feeling of just wanting to talk to that person. You just want them to call you. If you answer that call, you get attached again, and you’re left worse off than you were before.

The same goes for every emotional situation.

When you have those feelings of uncertainty, fear, loneliness… you want to get rid of them, in any way you can. Usually by reaching out to someone to tell them what is happening in your life, and to share how you are feeling about it.

Immediately trying to suppress the emotion with outside stimulation only keeps you stuck where you are.

If you instead continue to do things that help you grow, while you sit with those feelings. You will see that you grow the most, through those feelings.

These feelings are all lessons, and by trying to ignore them you are only keeping yourself in the same exact place.

Your body is legitimately asking you to take action in order to change your reality, and the action you decide to take should generate a result. Result producing actions usually are not the easy ones.

You should understand that that emotion you are feeling is fake. It can not hurt you. The only way that emotions hurt you is if you act on them.

Your current emotion thinks that something is going to make you feel good, and it will in the moment, but once that stimulation is gone you are left empty. Usually worse off than you started before, because you realize that you feel the same.

Every time you act on your emotion, you reinforce the act of doing so.

Be willing to sit with your emotions, because that is where you are going to grow and get through whatever is going on.

Cater to them and you put yourself into an endless loop.
