Have you ever had those days where you feel just okay? You feel kind of out of emotions? Nothing really happened to you today to make you feel that way, but you just do.
This was the type of day I had today. I had a great lunch, I got plenty of sleep and yet I felt out of emotions.
At first, I was aware of how I was feeling. Without any judgements, I began to think of reasons I could be feeling this way. Then, I thought about how I spoke to a friend on the phone yesterday whom I haven’t spoken to in awhile. I remember after our 2 hour conversation, I felt drained/tired/ without emotions. Of course, I thought I must be just tired so i went to bed. Anyways..let’s get to a greater point.
Truth is we all have days like this.
It is very important to be aware of how our body is feeling. We as humans, we are emotional beings, we witness and go through SOOOO many emotions and thoughts everyday and every moment. When moment or a day like this happens and our body and mind feels not in tune/ out of life, it the first step to be aware.
Second, we should never judge ourselves on how we feel. In my case, I realized that i was feeling a bit emotionless but I was just aware of it and i didn’t complain to my co-workers and I didn’t ask myself what is wrong with me. I just sat there and realized my body is feeling this way, so I am just going to do my work, listen to music and not be chitty chatty today because I simply don’t feel like it. That is completely okay.
I have to say in between these emotions and me being quiet than usual, thoughts about how others might think “I am doing less today” or “I am slacking today” came to my head. There were moments in my meetings where I just took a deep breath and reminded myself, you are completely okay the way you are today. You are doing great. You are great at your job. You rock.
Thirdly, it is important to be calm and let your body just be. Through out the day, I didn’t let “me feeling all right” take over me, I didn’t give it power by talking to anyone about it. it. I just sat there calmly at my desk and got my work done and it was a good quiet day for me.
Fourthly, listen to the voice inside of you. For some reason, my inner voice was telling me I was feeling this way because I talked to my friend friend for two hours last night. Questions like: Was it the topic we talked about that struck me like this? What does he/she mean in my life? What value does that person bring me? Is it healthy to keep in touch with this person? Should I test it out again to see if i will feel this way? and then, there is my answer.
Overall, it is so so so important that we are aware of what we are feeling and thinking. It helps us to react and be proactive. It helps us get to know ourselves better. It helps us to make clear choices so we have clarity in our mind and in result we DO with intentions.
Next time when you are having a mellow day, remember to feel it, let it be and love yourself.
