THE TRIPLE ‘A’ EMOTIONAL DETOX
Are you tormented with a mind full of fear and negative emotions? No wonder there is very little place for happiness and positivity! The weight of emotional disturbances can be so heavy that you actually get comfortable with the ’emotional burden’. As the turmoil keeps piling in our conscious and subconscious, low self-esteem and a state of helplessness creep in. Broken relationships, unexpressed feelings, unhappy events which have had no closure and traumatic experiences not spoken about- all result in a web of negativity creating many trigger points of emotional lows. Repeated triggers create self-doubt and self-blame, pushing you to build emotional facades to present to the world…a façade very different from the real emotional state you are in. You begin to smile when you are inwardly crying and laugh when your heart bleeds. Slowly you become a master at ’emotional disguise’. Detoxifying becomes a necessity or the toxicity can slowly consume you… The question is, where and how to begin to de-toxify from the emotional baggage?
The triple ‘A’ Detox of Awareness, Acceptance and Allow, is a great way to begin the emotional detox.
1.AWARENESS-
– Become aware of negative emotions. You often get so complacent about repeated feelings that you fail to recognise them as negative.
– Get to the core of your toxic emotions with, ‘ Why, What, Where, Who and When’ of your feelings……
– WHY do I feel the way I do- leads to self-awareness.
-WHAT triggers these feelings- helps you become careful not to enter those emotional zones again.
– WHO can set off these triggers- warns you to keep away from the people who pull you down.
– WHEN did it all begin- helps you trace the downward path and choose the right emotional detox.
– WHERE is all this leading to, opens your eyes to the pitfalls if you continue on the dangerous route.
- ACCEPT
Accept the fact that you are not alone in this turbulent emotional journey. Each one is facing his/ her own demons.
-ACCEPT that you alone are responsible for accepting negative behaviour or words when you did.
– ACCEPT the fact that you did not respond assertively when you should have.
– ACCEPT, that you alone can initiate change.
3.ALLOW
-ALLOW yourself to know that to detoxify your emotions you got to face them.
– ALLOW yourself to let go of the guilt of your past.
– ALLOW yourself to indulge in self-love.
– ALLOW to put yourself before everyone else.
– ALLOW yourself to drop your facade and show the world the real ‘you’.
– ALLOW yourself to be happy
– ALLOW yourself to shift the paradigm from toxic to detox.
