How To Release That Built Up Emotional Clutter In Your Mind

Life is a journey without a specific destination. There are some, who has a predetermined road map, and the funds they need to get them there. Others have no idea where they’re going, has little or no resources, but they’re also fine with that.

All we want is to just fit in, yet during our life journey, we encounter challenges that slows us down, or alters our course.

At times, we allow these roadblocks to get us down, feel weary, making the journey less enjoyable.

These obstacles can also halt us altogether, as we feel stuck and unable to move forward. That’s what emotional clutter is.

That Emotional Cloud

It begins with identifying what these obstacles are, by recognizing what the emotional clutter is that’s slowing us down, which can alter the course of our life.

Begin by listing all your fears, moans, gripes, curses, anger, anxieties, complaints, anything that breaks you down.

Take your time compiling this list, while continuing to add to it, as issues arise. Be honest, as it’s your life and your issues.

Rid Of Negative Thoughts

The reason for compiling a list of negative emotions, is so you can intently focus on them. Never dwell on them however, once they’re exposed.

If you do get emotionally bogged down by them, then take a break, take a walk, take a nap. Then return back to the list, with a clear mind.

The key is being genuine. Never mask your issues thinking you’re perfect. Face them head on, even if they make you feel uncomfortable, or if you feel guilt.

How You Want To Feel

What’s now needed is extended effort, by unplugging, flushing out, and getting unstuck of all the sludge of negativity that’s piled up, and clogging up your mind.

Take each of the grievances you’ve written down, and state how fixing or removing them would make you feel better, and the reasons why. Dig deep, to expose these nasty feelings.

Most often, these emotions are buried deep in the past, and you can’t do anything about them.

To Flush Out Angst

It doesn’t matter why or how they happened. What’s important is identifying how you would have liked things to of turned out, or been.

Write down how you would like things to be now. Keep the language positive, don’t curse, list what you want, and never what you don’t want.

It’s important to be as truthful as possible, because it’s your life and welfare at stake. You can choose to get better, or remain the same.

What Could You Do Right Now

What do you really want? It doesn’t matter if what you want is clinging on to the realms of fantasy, or the impossible.

Continue to add to it, and use it to build more positive thoughts in your life. Then decide to take the first steps of your new journey.

Take each item on the list, every issue, and ask yourself:

In order to completely release all of my negative feelings, and replace them with positive intentions, what’s the next step I need to take?

It’s important to understand it doesn’t mean you “have” to take action right now. It means you “could” do so if needed.

Open The Release Valves

It’s about opening up all the possibilities and opening up new avenues. There’s no pressure, as it’s not a “must do” list.

Some of the things which comes up will be emotional, others practical, all personal.

For instance, some examples on your list could be: Forgive myself, forgive him/her, find a gardener, enjoy the chocolates, write that letter, ask someone for some advice.

All you need to do, is make sure all of the possibilities are the solutions. The ones you would make, to make yourself feel better or resolved in some way.

Most likely, by now you’ll have new intentions and impetus, to take the positive steps you need to take.

You may have developed a strong urge, to look forward rather than look back. So just do it, and have fun.

Time To Take Action

Finding ways to have less clutter in your life, your emotions, is a liberating process, one that makes you feel instantly better.

Then taking positive action on these intentions, becomes infinitely more powerful.

Decide what on the list, you could do right now. Which items would be the easiest to do. Which item on the list, would have the most positive effect on you.

Then take the steps you need to take, so you’ll begin feeling better about yourself.

Become An Observer

By becoming a mindful observer of your thoughts, you’ll come to a greater understanding of yourself, and be able to let things go.

All the negative emotions which has a grip on you, will begin to dissolve away.

What’s known, is what a part of your subconscious mind will do, is observe what’s happening to you and your surroundings, as it happens in real time.

Once you become more aware of and observe yourself this way, you’ll find yourself standing outside of yourself.

You then observe how you feel, what you’re doing, and how you’re reacting and interacting with the environment.

Know Yourself Better

What you’ll then learn are incredible things about yourself by doing so, also in a relatively short period of time.

What you’ll begin to understand, is how your emotions react to certain situations, and why you do so, which gives you choices on how you should respond.

You can do so, by extracting the remote areas of your thoughts, by tapping into your subconscious mind.

This becomes helpful, for those times in your life where you feel stuck, or anything you do, doesn’t respond in your favour.
