My emotions are upswinging these days.
In one of my workouts, someone told me that in order to do your exercises, you have to be mentally strong. Since then, I put on efforts to my repetitions, adding one or two more in the usual 15 reps/ set. I am able to do what I was given to me, sometimes doing overtrainings (which well, needs to be checked also). It isn't emotions that drives physically fit people, as there will be days you just don't feel like doing it, it is your mental ability.
In this, to be able to be emotionally strong, you need emotional exercises. In my readings this morning, I found some nice article on what our behaviors should practice to be emotionally solid. These have been updated based on my personal needs. So dear self, here we go.
1. Properly label your emotions so you can accurately identify what you're going through. It isn't just happy or sad-- know other emotional terms.
2. Have empathy. Listen to other people's stories. Understand other people. As you were given grace, you are giving yourself grace, give others the grace they deserve.
3. Be adapting, moreover, to changes.
4. Know who you are so you won't get easily offended. Don't be defined by what other people think of you and their opinions.
5. Keep mistakes and sad thoughts at a safe distance. Dwelling makes you anxious, forgetting bounds you to do same mistakes.When it becomes uncontrollable, surrender it to God.
6. Control your interactions. Know when and whom you can talk to at certain times. When to check social media.
7. Not perfection, growth. Not speed, resilience.
8. Be grateful.
9. Keep stress under control. Know when to disconnect, or getting self to workout.
10. Know when to drink coffee.
11. Rest. Sleep well. Eat right. If you don't and you practice otherwise, it'll get you mad. You know that well.
12. Best of all, read the bible. Reading, practicing, becoming.
