Running away from your emotions and emotional states keeps you in a loop.
Now I’m going to speak about why suppression doesn’t work.
People try to distract themselves from themselves and how they feel.
They try to go only towards the positive so they’re chasing something in order to not feel how they feel.
That’s how most people do it at least, they try to run away from themselves, try to not feel or sit with the crap that is with them all the time but rather try to go for the next distraction. Go for the next thing whatever maybe makes them happy then feel good for a second until they have to be sitting with themselves again for a little bit and then it creeps up again.
They do the same thing over and over again, oh I’m feeling that way so I must do this and that so I can feel a little bit better again and it’s just this repetitive cycle or that loop that people live in.
Where they chase that happiness, where they chase feeling good and avoid feeling bad, avoid feeling negative feelings.
So suppression doesn’t work where someone tries to distract themselves from their emotions and their feelings because it’s still with them, it still runs them and whatever negative state of feelings that they have pretty much controls how they operate or how someone operates.
if they have a negative State for example defeat, discouragement or whatever, then they essentially just avoiding dealing with that, essentially just avoiding that negative feeling and instead of processing it and dealing with it so it could be flipped into something positive.
Discouragement could be turned into encouragement, defeat could be turned into winning and being victorious. They could be flipped but most people do not sit with their emotions, they’re just trying to avoid what comes up and that keeps people from from progressing and holding them back.
If someone does not consciously want to sit with themselves or with their emotions then they’re telling themselves something that can discourage them, they’ll be avoiding that right away instead of questioning it and then automatically drop things that they could be succeeding in but won’t because it’s a “negative emotion”, “negative sensation” they are trying to avoid.
So that’s why suppression doesn’t work to make progress it’s only done if you dive into that whatever uncomfortable sensation there is, sit with that, write it out, embrace it and then look at to;
– why you feel that way
– where is it coming from
and then flip it..
