Stop Sulking. Do this instead.
I was agitated after a long conversation with a close family member last night. When I hung up the phone, I wanted to pull my brain out to erase any trace of this chat from my memory.
I attempted to cry to get out all the frustrations that were boiling inside me, but something did not feel right. So, I paused for a moment and remembered similar incidents that happened over the last couple of months with the same person. The pattern spoke for itself! Thanks to my vivid memory and strong determination to avoid reacting to others’ opinions about me, I decided not to waste any more time or tears.
I wanted to do something different with my anger this time. I unlocked my laptop screen and started editing the story that had been seeking my attention over the last few weeks.
At first, I started to work only to distract myself as a replacement for sulking. But soon, the impulse drive within me led me to deep-dive into the article, allowing me to indulge in every detail.
Losing track of time, I immersed myself in my story’s teeny-weeny bits and formation. What absolute magic the words can do to your heart and soul!
The clock reminded me of the 4-hour leap from when I started the edit. I finally hit the publish button on my newsletter. There was still more fuel left to keep on the burning desire to write more! The flow of energy seemed to be endless!
I could feel every inch of my heart quickly filling up with a sense of accomplishment. There was no more trace of any repercussion. Only pure form of bliss! I closed my eyes to dwell in that piece of heaven for a while more!
Every positive or negative emotion carries tremendous energy. It is in our control to make the best use of it by redirecting it to what matters most!
In my case, it was easy to divert all the energy to my writing, something I love to do even in the middle of my wildest dreams!
Now that I have a taste of orchestrating my emotions to deliver a powerful outcome, I can’t wait to experience another strong emotion!!
Bring it on!! 🔥
