Recurring Seasonal Lows

I know each of us has different thoughts and emotions when we read that title. What are you thinking? Are you currently in a seasonal low? Did you just get out of one or are you dreading one coming in the next few months?

I pray this is something you aren’t familiar with and hope you’re lost trying to relate to what I am saying (actually I hope to write things you can always connect with, but not this time). And I hope you haven’t had the heartache and trauma in your life that makes you dread a certain day, month or whole season of the year. But for those of you that do, listen to your emotions and start to plan around it. I hate that you have to. But as I’ve said in another blog post, don’t wish it away. It is preparing you for something later on.

I vividly remember the last 3 years during this time, fall has been incredibly difficult. It has always been a huge emotional growing season for me. Although, because of it, I can start to watch for how I am feeling around this time of year and address it when I feel myself wanting to pull in and emotionally check-out. You can too.

You’re probably already thinking about that time of year that always seems to pull you down. The current season drawing to an end and you feel the next one watching you, lurking in the corner waiting to suck you in again. I feel you, you’re not alone! Thankfully, this year I have a few new tools and I want to share them with you!

Do you know why?

I don’t want to draw this out, and I really want you to get what I am saying here. So, bear with me and my and my ‘directness’… (is that a word?)

Do you know WHY you dread that time of year or month or even day in particular? I am no expert, but I could guess it’s due to grief and/or trauma, because they seem to go hand in hand.

I don’t know about you, but that is the exact reason I dread this time of year. There’s so much heartache, grief and even a little trauma that comes with this time of year for me.

Anyways, as I said before I am not going to go into the 10 reasons why these next few months are so emotionally taxing for me. All you need in order to get something out of this post is to know YOUR story and reasons for whatever heavy emotions YOU are feeling!

The How

You have to know where you’re feeling your pain because then you’ll know what you need to work on. Just like when you feel pain in your leg, you know something is wrong with your LEG, not your arm…

You’ll know what kind of counselor you need to see, research what vitamins and minerals you can be taking to support those emotions and part of your body (emotions are stored in different parts of your body, look it up!), and look up a few good essential oils to be diffusing and carrying with you (oils are so good for emotions)!

Pain says ‘I will do whatever it takes to make it go away’

Emotional pain sucks, and is too easy to push it to the back burner and put your outside happy face on. Don’t do this. You know better. I know it is so hard to even think about having to work through it and do all the “stuff” we have to do to help ourselves. But if you’re reading this you are FULLY capable of taking the steps and actions needed to work through this season and emotions. If you don’t you’ll end up hurting the people around you, with out even realizing it.

I hope this inspired you or encouraged you to send this to someone you know who is struggling!
