My Addiction to Emotions: How to Release Them

Highly-sensitive empathetic business people or every day people fall into these habits of getting addicted to emotions. 

Some of us already had this during childhood, like it’s impossible to separate ourselves from those emotions. And I want you to hear this message because this is REAL.

I was addicted to my disturbing emotions too. 

And what’s crazier is that a lot of it affects us subconsciously. So if we don’t heal ourselves or dig deeper into our inner selves, we’ll be challenged by these emotions.

Emotional Patterns that affected my Business and Relationships

My parents were divorced. I saw them constantly fighting when I was 6 to 9 years old, and as a result, I had to move in with my grandparents.

I had these emotions developed during that transition in my early life. These patterns of emotions have played out almost every single thing in my life, especially my business and relationships with people. It all points back to where I had my scarcity. 

But luckily I had a community to lead while my parents were figuring out their situation. And it pushed me to take on responsibility and go on with life. Right now, I feel good and aligned with what I have and what I want in life. 

Scarcity is a phase that comes and goes and here’s how I deal with it

Every time I go into scarcity mode, I always think of it as a ping pong ball. Where it continues to go down and there’s no other way around it. 

Sometimes it does go very fast, but there are times when the ball goes slow, depending on how quick and intense the scarcity is. Once I get into that phase of realizing that characteristic of scarcity, it no longer affects me. I stop fighting against my emotions and sit with them. Recognizing helps me to let it go, and I start to get away with it. 

That’s how you deal with scarcity. Scarcity is stemming from something irrational to you. That phase happened during my childhood and now I’m in my daily life no longer affected by it.

Never feel like you’re on your own

This is going to hit hard, but I’m telling you this. Don’t feel like you’re on your own. I know that there are many levels of trauma, so if you’re struggling with current emotions or worries, I’m not telling you to diminish them right away. Instead, I want to tell you that maybe your experienced trauma is ready to move on when you let it go. 

Bottomline:

There is still hope that we can live freely without having these emotions. When we feel this emotion that is bothering us, accept and recognize the reasons for it being irrational, so we can get out of it faster.
