After speaking at a retreat all weekend, I really had the chance to listen to some of the biggest issues that we all struggle with. I know I have dealt with holding onto anger, having too much clutter and burning out.
These six tips below can help you to live an emotional healthy life.
1: Always be open- when we are open, we can view situations as opportunities and possibilities. Even mistakes/failures become teachable/learnable moments.
2: You can’t give what you don’t have – don’t try to be everything for everybody. It’s impossible and sets you up for failure. Make yourself a priority. How can you be there for others, if you are burnt out emotionally, physically, mentally and/or spiritually. Making yourself a priority allows you the well being to be there for others.
3: Clear your emotional clutter – become aware of your thoughts. If our thoughts are negative, judgmental and self-critical, you will stay in a state of negativity. Moods/emotions are contagious – is this what you want to pass down to your kids, grand kids, friends, etc.?
4: What am I doing to make this world a better place? You should be living the legacy you want to leave. Ask the question daily: How can I make this world a better place? Your acts of kindness can change the world.
5: Never hold on to anger, blame or resentment, it only hurts you. When we hold on to anger, it affects every choice/decision we make. We don’t want to make decisions based on anger or fear. Forgiveness is a process done for you and you only. It doesn’t justify or excuse anyone’s behavior, it allows you to have the power to move forward. Forgiveness is the best gift you can give yourself whether your angry at yourself, others or both.
6: Are your decisions/choices based on fear or love? When we make decisions based on fear, we allow our decisions to be based on anger, desperation or being impulsive. These decisions usually turn out to be the wrong ones and can cause us more pain. Instead make your decisions/choices from a place of love and clarity.
