Life is a journey, a mixture of happy days, sad days, bad days and sometimes feeling empty days which is totally normal. Yes! totally normal if you are a human not any other sort of specie.
But if you often feel empty then don’t worry that is normal to and there are ways which will help you to keep that emotion in check.
Yes, emotion everything which we feel is our emotion and feeling empty is one of them but how does it feel?
- You don’t have a sense of goal in life
- You are not happy from your life but you are not sad either
- You lack confidence, feels like can’t do anything
- You just don’t have a clue how you feel or how to react on a certain situation.
What causes this feeling of emptiness? In reality no one knows for sure, and maybe multiple reasons are behind it. The most common cause you might feel this way is self-distancing-feeling distance or I can say stranger from yourself. This feeling develops overtime, usually as a result of pushing away or in gulping too many emotions.
Emotions are very foundation of our lives and our quality of life, yet many of us at some point of time have emotions which we don’t want to experience. For example: ANGER is one of them.
What happens when we don’t acknowledge these emotions they become shadows of our mind and haunt us like ghosts which make us distant from other people.
Here are some ways for getting out from those ghostly emotions.
- Stop ‘eyeing out’ for a sense of purpose.
Your life purpose arises from your uniqueness. It’s not something that someone will gift you or you will just find it hanging somewhere for you. You are the hero of your own story so you should have the strong will of finding who you actually are.
- Ask yourself am I the person who is suffering this feeling of emptiness?
Start with this who is this person feeling empty. is it you? Or your dependable self who laughs when you are tickled, and cries when you are sad. It’s your that side who wants to fill your void, who wants to fill you with completeness. So think like that WHO IS IT?
- Love yourself
Self-love is very important as it is the root cause of all the happiness in the world. Just look at yourself your past/present/future and ask yourself how your life would be if you were not feeling empty .why you feel this way what are you hiding from maybe YOURSELF your true self, so embrace the true you and learn to love yourself first.
- Share it out
Share this feeling with someone. If there is no one you trust for that information take help from the SUPPORT GROUP that could be valuable or share it with your parents or any trustworthy elder. Be honest and kind to yourself, rather than looking to other people to fill you up.
- Try therapy
A good therapist will show who you actually are with the help of a metaphorical mirror.
- Root out shame
Shame encourages us to unvalue ourselves but there is nothing wrong with you. It’s hard to be close to someone who you hate. Everybody have that someone they hate in their life and that’s ok there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Life is beautiful live it the way you want. You deserve good people, good relationship with yourself just be yourself and love yourself.
