Sometimes you have to unplug yourself from the world for a moment,
so you can reset yourself
~ Vex King

 

My mood swing sometime is horrible. I can be jolly and happy, yet in a snap i can be grumpy. Knowing this, I took time to learn on how to control my emotion. No one says it will be easy, but definitely it is really worth it (at least for me).

Not going to mention how many times i have exploded, especially when things getting so tense and I could not keep uneasy things in my heart anymore, it takes less than second just to burst out. There are so many ways that I have gone through  (from journaling, forgiving, having TAT* and everything) just to make sure that I could control my emotion.

Most of the time it works, but i am still human (long deep sigh). Of course I will regret every time I lost control of myself. Things that piled up and suddenly explode is always something.  Yet, not wanting to dwell in the situation that I regret, I will try to accept the situation, and yea… let it be. Let it be means to know the feeling of anger, feel the pain, experience the headache and hurt itself and give permission to all the feeling to pass. I called it as ‘let go’ moment.

During this moment, it is important to be relax. To unwind and keep some distance from the things that took my energy the most. It is indeed too much sometimes to meet people at that time. Break is needed. It is the chance to breathe and recharge (that’s how it is described by Vex King). He added : Being alone is needed for a while and that’s perfectly acceptable and doesn’t make us any less loving.

Disconnecting a bit from people not only giving advantage to me, but also to other people as I do not want to lower their energy as well.
Disconnecting a while doesn’t mean to be disconnected forever, it is just a moment to give a pause, to unplug. Unplug for me means to create space for myself to feel good.

When i am having my unplug time, I would spend time to read or just roaming around in the city, walking. Yea, two different activities that I love most. How long does it take to unplug? No one can tell, I can’t tell either. For me until how long means : Until I feel better. Until I can feel that I have energy to go on. Until I can think properly again, until my vibration is well again.

If you happen to see me during my unplug time, please don’t ask me anything, just give me a hug. And now, can I have your hug please?
