Emotional stability interview with W

· What are your thoughts on emotional health?

L:When I think of emotional stability I think of happiness, peace, and love. I believe that emotional stability is very much a contributor to life. There are times where your emotions can cause you to fail or succeed. Emotional stability can determine the outcome of any situation, whether it be big or small.


· Was it something you could openly speak about during your childhood? 

L:Growing up my emotions were not acknowledged; I mean I was only a child so what feelings did I have? (being sarcastic)

· When things begin to test your emotional stability, how do you deal with it?
L: When my emotions are challenged, depending on the matter I may cry and possibly cut off the world. Music is always my go to when I am not in a good emotional state of mind.

· Thoughts on seeking counsel?
L:I think that counseling is always an option, often talking to a stranger may help more so than speaking to friends and family. I always looked at talking to strangers you are less likely to be judged or made to feel psychotic.


· Have you sought out professional help? And if so did it help?
L:I have even sought counseling for my own emotional stability and I must say it was a positive experience. It actually opened my eyes to a lot of things. 



· What would you tell a friend who's dealing with emotional issues?
L:Dealing with emotional instability can become dangerous and you don't think with logic. I encourage friends to seek help if need be, and let it out. Prayer is always an option too.


·How had being a mom affected your emotional stability?
L: Being a mother has made my emotional state of mind go in circles. Trying to deal with my own emotions as well as acknowledge the fact that my children are human too and have feelings that need to be heard. I am finally at a place where I can find time to understand my own emotions and listen to my children also.

The children

Image
 Whether we want to believe it or not the children in our lives play a very special and important role! Although we feed, clothe and take care of them (which is our job) they add so much value and purpose to life that we should treat them as such. It's really easy to get tied up and busy with all that life throws at you but again these kids of our didn't as to be here so it shouldn't reflect as such. I said this to say do you value the littles you have in your life? Do they know how important they are to you? Do make them feel that they are special? With so much hate going on in this world it's up to us to show our children they mean the world to us. Now I'm not saying they are perfect little angels lol but I am saying the way they turn out as an adult begins with the molding and shaping we do as parents and guardians. As parents we know life can overwhelm us so bad and we just break down and hide in a dark corner. But reality of it all is we can't do that to th...

Don't be so hard on yourself

Image
             Pause for just a second, how have you been treating yourself? Have you been taking some time out and at least giving yourself some time to breath? or have you been so busy because you feel if you're not being productive your wasting time? Honey let me tell you, I'm the type of person if I'm not doing something productive I feel like I'm just wasting my life away. Listen mom, we have so many jobs and the pay isn't great at all. We get no sick days and no PTO! We work 24-7 and vacations are rare, so when I say it's OK not to be so hard on yourself I mean it. Let me tell you a little about myself. I have three children: 9,2, and 1. So my hands are pretty full especially this summer.  A normal errand free day in my household consists of Waking up, making breakfast, clean something in the house, give everyone a snack, clean something else, eat lunch, TRY TO MAKE THEM NAP AT THE SAME TIME, fix or clean something e...

Healing from heartbreak

Image
No one is perfect, nothing is perfect. Things we look forward to sometimes disappoint us, we put expectations on things. So now you're dealing with pain and don't know what to do? So many feelings and emotions running wild through you but you feel stuck. The relationship you had is in a hard place, and now your heart has been broken and now all you're thinking is what to do now?   Don't think you can't move on from this, you can! It may take some time BUT here are a few things you can start with: 1: Acknowledge the pain The first step to fixing any situation is to acknowledge the it, shine some light on it. You're human and I think sometimes we all forget that. We forget that pain and other trials and tribulations come along with life. So instead of bringing the issue to light so you can rebuild yourself we bury them. Which is NOT the smartest thing to do. You have to bring it to light so it can be addressed and worked on.  2:Reach out to the one w...
