When we suffer from mental health issues or addictions we tend to find our lives a bit chaotic. We may find ourselves always on the go physically and mentally exhausted. We may also find ourselves quick to react, emotionally unstable, or possibly numb. When we live in chaos it can make getting the help we need challenging. It can be hard to stop and acknowledge that we need help. The chaos can turn into cycles of ups and downs. It can be challenging to find our inner calm, let alone understand what we are feeling when we are feeling it. Learning to calm ourselves both physically and emotionally can be an integral part of recovery and can help us learn to lead healthy, happy lives. One option to find this calm is meditation.
Creating the Calm
Meditation helps to create a stillness both physically and emotionally. Finding the ability to be still, find your center, and breathe, can be really beneficial, and help you to access your emotions. At times, in the bustle of everyday life and the chaos we live in, it can be easy to push away emotions. Trauma tends to cause emotional numbness over time and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Learning to acknowledge how we are feeling, and looking deep within can be hard. Working with the right professional can help you acknowledge your feelings and learn to work through them in a healthy way.
Navigating Emotions
When we practice finding our stillness, we naturally become calmer. Mental health issues and addiction can lead us to live in chaos that creates strong emotions, instability, and dramatic imbalance. Practicing acknowledging our inner feelings and finding our calm, can lead to healthily navigating our emotions. Meditation can help us to learn to react slower, think before taking action, and understand how we really feel in the moment.
