Emotions Practice of Meditation and Peace
Friday Journal, I was just thinking maybe we could all share about emotions such a happiness joy sorrow anger and how you apply practicing positive ways of dealing with the negative emotions to achieve the positives on the spectrum such as tranquility joy and happiness…
I personally would prefe to live in a bubble and since joining this Red Bubble I have found so many outlets for so much emotion found alot of healing and pray to continue this journey Well I love Friday Journal responses for I find that I heal and learn through each one of you and your spirits so I will throw this out there
Have a Great Night and Many Many Blessings and Regards

I think for me sometimes detachment helps. I become so involved in the feelings part of life and forget there is more. That I’m not just my feelings. I was thinking in the car yesterday about creativity and might write a piece about it. If I stop being creative for one reason or another, I feel really blocked. Detachment from hurting people and turning towards creativity really helps me. Thank you for this piece of writing, Amber :

I feel the same for when I am sad the best therapy for me is to either be creative or to help other through support and just by showing kindness I heal inside and my attitude improves one of my favorite past times is to make people smile for those are truly contageous… basically Stepping Out of my self and becoming part of the world and tery to improve at least somer small ppart or spec on the universe I believe If all of us would take measure to do this every day at least for a moment the world would truly improve… God Bless and thank You for visiting me always:):):):) please catch those:):):)

Can I just say (and pardon me for no addressing you Amber in your own post), that rightasrain perhaps just said the most insightful thing I have heard in YEARS! It is no wonder so many artists lead turmoiled lives, and brilliance and insanity often coincide. We really could all benefit from, on occasion, letting ourselves go… somewhere which just is, and life does not constantly reflect a canvass or page. Thank you both for this, and worry not Amber, I’ll be in touch shortly.

G, you’re so right about brilliance and insanity. There’s a book in our libary about it – artists and bipolar, etc (Van Gogh and others). It was a revelation. And people pop pills to help them with depression – but in a way it’s those highs and lows which lend to creativity. I’m not saying antidepressants are wrong. Not at all. I’m just thinking out loud whether dampening these strong feelings is a good thing – they maybe should be channeled instead? but then life is hard for so many of us. To G and Amber – thanks for your thoughts and your comments on mine. You’re on to something here, Amber :

I deal with people with emotional problems all the time, and I try to make them look at their problems in a different way, stand apart from it and change their attitude to it, look at it positively instead of negatively., and if they have a problem with another person, then try and wear the other persons moccasins and see where they are coming from, We all need to change our attitude to things which bother or upset us. And it is very true people with bipolar are always so artistic and creative. I was always taught ‘If you have a problem, look it straight in the eye and deal with it’ and that I have done all my life, as I told a patient just like week, I do not allow problems in my life. I sort them before they become a problem. Lots of Love and hugs Amber, and God Bless, you are doing a good job, We all have to remember god has no hands, or feet, or voice on the earth and we must often do the ‘legwork’ for him. xxxxxxxxx

I agree with that totally for when i have ran in my earlier years for problems or tried differnet forms of escape , I found thta problems just escalated for me in a serious spinning whirlpool effectthe more you look head on and face things and the mores positive effort and energy you put into the world the better it does get stepping up does make such a difference I try very hard to have tolerance and patience with others (family ) ect and sometimes that can be a problem forme as I intermnally try to digest … and need always need to surrender take a moment and turn this over to god thank You for sharing, very very much love our chats:)
God Bless

Amber, Hilary is awesome…love her comment…
I feel if you are an artist or a writer…you see beyond what other people see…and it is
therefore sometimes very difficult to deal with everyone…not understanding their views
when to us the answer is sometimes deep within and we can pull it out…I can look
at a picture and see things other people don’t see…Julie Marks put up artwork she
called “Plant Abstract”...I looked at it and saw the sky on 9/11…why..I can’t tell you..
but we just view things so differently…it is a gift…the most important thing is that
we harnass it to help us…not hinder us….Have a great weekend…Much Love & Hugs,
Sally xxxxxxxoooooooo

I believe this to sally for I have had vision before and even pointed someting I see as wonderous or could be created to be so finished the project and in the making my kids have looked at me like I am crazy when I am finished
They say ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Harnassing positive energy is a wonderful Gift
I hope You have a great weekend too:)
Many Many Hugzzz

Sally, I agree with what you said about the difficulty dealing with everyone – for me it can become overwhelming, so I need a quiet place. There’s a complexity that I don’t always understand but I roll with it when I can. Thanks for your thoughts – I’m chewing them over :-)
Amber Elizabet... replied
I have difficulty in this issue to for I always try very hard to have tolerance and be polite In this I often feel emotionally drained and things I air in public or say in kindness thats fine internalize so I am trying to find some new method for stress management always many many hugzz and have a great weekend too:)

Isn’t that so true – I have an urge to be totally myself but don’t feel it’s always accepted / I’m always accepted. “Trying” as you say, Amber, can emotionally drain. That happens to me. Then the anger at having to be “good” to suit society. But I’m learning. Life sure is a full-on experience. I’m still learning :-)
