What do you do if you get …
Lost ?
Tired ?
Dejected?
Helpless?
Exhausted?
Angry?
Frustrated ?
This is exactly what I am feeling right now. Why the heck am I doing this, why the heck am I working, why the heck am I feeling like this, why the heck did the virus come?! I don’t know why this is happening to me every time????!!!!!! My actions and work are being misjudged by the people around me. I am unsure where my life is heading!!!! I don’t want to do anything and just want to sit quite for some time (some = 758745834758438 hours :D). I am feeling annoyed and irritated.My words here are not justifying whatever I am feeling right now but I tried to express :(
Moreover, sometimes it so happens that the people in your close circle don’t understand what are you going through. Instead of supporting you they keep finding negative points in your actions or criticize you. May be because of they have some other expectations from you and they are not getting fulfilled. Or may be they think they have enough points to solve the situation in which you are in so they will overwhelm you with their ideas!!!
I am sure many of us have felt something like this sometime in our lives. Now the question comes, is it natural to feel like this ?! My answer is yes. Of course depending on the situation, intensity differs but I believe its very natural to feel like this.
. . .
The first two paragraphs I had written when I was feeling like that actually because I wanted to write when I was really pissed off. And from now on, I am writing when I am not in that zone and I am calm. I experimented this so that I can come up with few things mentioned later in this article.
First, put everything aside for a while and think……what do you really want?! do you want to end up such feelings and do something better and want to achieve something in your life ? You want to feel calm and motivated and positive ?! If yes (Well it should be yes!! No one wants to get stuck in the same situation right ?) look up to your inspirational source….it can be anything or any person. In my case its photographs and videos about universe and elephant!! I look up to photographs of nature or things which I have clicked or I start watching videos about theories on universe and elephants!!! Basically I divert my focus completely from one thing to another. This will help to make your self calm and will somewhat recharge your mood and temperament.
Now when you become calm, you may think why I was angry and was feeling bad about something/someone?! Was it really necessary ?! Most of the times answer will be no because you get some more details and other perspective about your situation that you might not know when you were angry, right ?! If the answer is yes, its okay. Let’s think of a hot air balloon. It can not go up until it gets hot air. Similar to this, sometimes we need some hot air in order to go up in our path. Just like this, treat your anger and feelings as a fuel in your progress. Don’t let that burn your dreams and relations!! Sometimes talking to yourself also helps in understanding the situation.
And about your close people around you…pay attention to their intention and not on their words. Words may create chaos or can not convey the exact message. If you just shift your focus towards intention, you will be able to see how much they are concerned about your suffering and how desperate they are to get you out of that situation. If you would have been in the same situation, you probably would have done the same to them, right? Look around, you will always get someone to get your back or to hold you when things are not right…be it your parents or siblings or partner or friends. If you feel you do not have anyone, you can always reach out to me. I will be happy to talk :)
