It can feel scary when we feel we do not get what we want from life. It is ok to feel that way and ok to feel it any way. We might get angry at ourselves for what we did or did not do but that is never productive. You may throw a temper tantrum at someone unexpectedly and for I poorly will make it even worse. We cannot take it out on ourselves or on others no matter the cost. It will not help us to do this and can only have the power to hurt us. If we do not get something it is something we do not want to have. Remember we only have so much control over what happens, so when something goes right or wrong all we can do is do the best for ourselves and see what ends up happening. Where you want to go is important. The journey along the way is important because when you get to the destination you may feel unfulfilled and that is because the whole experience needs to excite you not just the destination. What do you dream about happening in your life because you can make it a reality if you want. It may be easy or difficult, but you can have the tools to succeed. When we are feeling alone, we can feel isolated, but you always have yourself. Sometimes it can be scary to be alone and must sit with your thoughts. I have been there, and it can feel overwhelming or uncomfortable. I know many people want to avoid or do anything not to face the thoughts that come up, but it can be powerful to accept what you are thinking. Yes, I could be feeling regretful or pain, but I have accepted that I am feeling these things and can then MOVE ON. When you fight these thoughts, they can linger and so it can be like you are in battle. It can be exhausting but facing the thoughts will give them far less power. Over time, I have found the thought may remain, but its power has gone away, and I feel free. I think that if you are true to yourself and your mind this can relax you and have a good impact on yourself. When something triggers me how should I react? I would say if you cannot react calmly, do not say, or do anything at all. The best thing you have at that moment is time. Time is your friend. When you calm down you can come back to it and that is your best bet. Too many times, I have stayed or said something in that moment, and you are not thinking clearly. It usually ends up being something hurtful or negative which is why it is better to just do nothing. Do not go into a shell and hide if something is bothering you. It is better to do something about it rather than keeping it inside or not dealing with it. Try to produce an effective way that helps you out in the future. For me, doing this was relaxing.
