Our mind works in strange ways. Sometimes, it makes us feel great and ready to conquer the world. Other times, new behaviours start to manifest in our lives out of which some are very helpful but the rest tend to drive us to a point where we feel stuck. Emotionally feeling stuck makes us reach a point where nothing makes sense to us. It can be sparked from all kinds of things and it gets very challenging to overcome. However, it is possible to get over it. Here’s how to get emotionally unstuck. Explore a quiet place It could be your own room or an area where you don’t feel distracted. Once you get hold of a quiet spot, make sure to go there every single day for a few minutes. The purpose of this quiet place is to begin developing your inner voice. You’ll eventually be able to listen to it and begin to identify elements and emotions. By the end of it, you will know the root cause of each of these emotions. Dig deep emotionally Once you know how to explore your inner voice, you will notice that one emotion can cloud the other. Maybe you’re feeling angry about something but deep down you’re experiencing fear or pain. This is when you need to dig deep. Observe yourself for a week and sit down again for yet another exploration session. Identify the root Start by questioning yourself, “Have I found the root cause of this emotion or am I just on the surface?” Let’s say you’re depressed, you will likely feel frustrated and sad for most times in this situation. This is when you need to make sure you are uncovering and identifying as many emotions as you can. Try to name all your emotions The main idea of repeating the above-mentioned steps is to ensure that you get hold of each emotion. You should have a good understanding of why you’re reacting a certain way and what is it that triggers you. If you aren’t conscious about your emotions, you will find yourself in the same sequence of thoughts. Manage one emotion at a time Once you can identify your emotions, you need to dig deeper and know what exactly triggered it. With this step, you need to make sure that you have laid out your emotions. You don’t have to keep covering them up even though you would want to. The only way you’ll overcome being emotionally stuck is when you start handling the emotion rather than burying it again. Begin healing Being emotionally stuck is about knowing what triggers you and what emotion you feel. Getting unstuck is all about realizing and accepting this, finding the cause and then making changes. The time to get to this point varies from one person to another. Make small changes in your life, surroundings and habits.
