“Roller Coaster of Love†is an old Ohio Players song, but I prefer the red hot chili peppers version: http://ping.fm/OT7Dk
The reason why I mentioned it, is my emotions have been ALL OVER THE PLACE since the Equinox. Up and down, up and down; but I find that however I wake up is how I tend to stay the entire day; unless I take steps to face and change it.
I am also hearing from lots of friends and clients, especially those in the WORST relationships, are having big problems, too.
So, how do I deal with it?
First and foremost, I realize it's not 'me' who's feeling these things.
I may feel anxiety, but I am not anxious. I may feel frustration, but I am not frustrated.
The emotions are sensations, or information about my environment; but that doesn't make them 'true', understand?
I blame the planets, but I can just as easily blame hormones, work stress, or anything else; really it's irrelevant.
I experience certain sensations that I choose to accept or ignore.
Period.
“Why†doesn't matter. There's how I feel, and what I do about it.
Beyond that, it's bio-chemical brain chatter that will pass soon enough.
So there you have it: when something is bothering you, step back and realize it's not 'you' at all, but an emotional state that you are experiencing.
Look into it and see what it's trying to tell you, and act accordingly.
And above all else: keep moving.
And remember:
Never give up, never give up, never ever ever give up.
