We all have moments when we suppress our emotions. In fact, we may have acquired a lifelong habit of suppressing emotions, rather than a momentary one. But are we aware of how repressed emotions affect our body?
Our families and the social environment we live in have taught us that we should behave in certain ways throughout our lives. We have all learned what it would cost us to express our emotions as we feel in certain situations, without filtering them. We have seen that when we always express all the emotions that come from within us in a pure way, we experience difficulties in maintaining our relationships, both in our private and business lives. We have even convinced ourselves that doing this is actually healthy and normal.
We have suppressed it in our lives as adults. We express every emotion, mostly on our children later on. In any case, since we have absolute authority over them, it is not difficult to do this. Didn't we also feel such expressions of emotion on us at one time? We quickly learned that "we need to get over these", "it is shameful to touch here and there", "we ask too many questions" or "we talk too much". If these words don't sound familiar to you, I'm sure you can remember hearing them yourself. Since our parents also grew up suppressing their own emotions, they almost never had the knowledge of how to handle similar emotions. As a result, it is not strange that the families that raised us were unable to handle our emotions. That's why, following in their footsteps, we learn to suppress our emotions and not express them. When we do this, we never think about how much our emotions affect our body!
All of these are things that happen at the subconscious level. We don't consciously think about how our emotions affect our body. However, influence happens anyway.
Our emotions need an outlet, a form of expression. They are a part of us and in one way or another they must find themselves They will take it out. Even though we think we can suppress them, after a certain point our body has absorbed them and from now on it will cause various illnesses, injuries and illnesses to attract our attention. This is how emotions actually affect our body.
Feeling our emotions. and instead of expressing them, we may be ignoring them. It is our mind that denies their existence. This rejection buries them deep within our body and soul.
Since all our experiences in this life, including our emotions, are stored in our cells, and since our cells combine to form us, what do we actually want to be stored there? Your negative, rejected and ignored emotions? Our body does not know the difference between a positive or negative emotion, thought, hormone or molecule. All of these are so interconnected and complex!
If we do not have the courage to become aware of them and deal with them, negative thoughts, energies, whatever we want to call them, will take place in our body, mind and soul. Discomfort, pain, injuries and many other negative energies will continue to appear in our body.
This is how emotions affect our body.
We can never control the events that occur outside of us. we can't. We can only determine our reactions to events and situations from our external world. Instead of changing or struggling with the external factors that create our emotions, we can observe our reactions to our emotions and make various changes.
In order to live a happy, fulfilling and healthy life, we need to own our emotions, accept them without judgment, and feel them fully. . Only in this way can we remove the obstacles in front of them and ensure that they flow freely and do not accumulate in our body. There is no such thing as right or wrong, good or bad emotion. Our emotions just exist.
