Distance Yourself And Come Back Stronger

When faced with a difficult situation, it takes courage to step back and withdraw at the right time. Because you need time to reflect and think about what happened. You want to understand how you feel. Then you can return. Once you have regained your power, you can try again.

Choosing the right time to withdraw from a relationship, from an argument with another person, or from an unsatisfactory job takes willpower. You will have to overcome your fear of the consequences. Sometimes we experience situations that exhaust us. Yet we are unable to leave and regain our strength.

The quest for happiness

In some circumstances it is necessary to think about your own personal happiness.   You must find your inner peace in order to regain strength. In these situations it is essential that you are consistent in what you think, feel, say and do.

Happiness is a term that seems utopian. We tend to refer to it in the past tense. Because we say things like ‘in the summer of 2000 I was happy’. Researchers in positive psychology have defined a definition of the concept of happiness. They base it on three ingredients:

• Often experiencing a positive feeling (joy, pleasure, love, affection)
• Few moments when you experience a negative feeling (sadness, stress, worry, fear, pain)
• High levels of satisfaction in life

In summary, this means that a happy person is one who experiences a lot of positive and few negative emotions and feels satisfaction with his life. But remember that there is no such thing as objective happiness. Rather, it is a subjective state of happiness that each of us experiences in our own way.

The search for this subjective state of happiness is what makes us decide to step out of a situation. We remove ourselves from situations that make us uncomfortable or unhappy. Once we have recovered the necessary energy, we can return.

Emotional intelligence and its value to regain strength

Human happiness is directly related to certain emotions and moods. Emotional intelligence plays a role in this. Because it is the ability to understand your own emotions and those of others.

When it comes to emotions, there are experts who think you can control them completely. Others believe that there is really nothing you can do to control them. But there are also studies that conclude that the way you interpret your emotions can change. So you can learn to experience your feelings in a different way.

For example, if you are afraid of speaking in public, you will think of those nerves as something negative. But if you interpret them as the desire to do well, then you are more likely to be successful. You just need to understand how you feel and adjust those emotions in your favor.

You don’t run, but you take the time to figure out how to come back stronger

Isolation often gives you time to learn about yourself and reflect on your life. It gives you space and space to describe your strengths and weaknesses and to work on what you need to improve.

For that reason , you should not view isolation as something negative. Rather, it is an ally in the process of self-knowledge. You will need this at several moments of your existence. Sometimes you need to regain strength and energy. Then it is necessary to return to your origin. Peace and seclusion will help you with this.

How to manage your emotions and recover energy

Using emotional intelligence involves recognizing your emotions and moods. Learn to recognize when you are angry, nervous or sad, for example. That will allow you to act from the source of the emotion and the emotion itself. We give you some tools to manage your negative emotions.

Think of your virtues, not your weaknesses

Stop for a minute and think about everything you tell yourself when something negative happens. You will see that you are the one feeding this emotion and making it grow. In the beginning, the feeling may have been easy to steer. But because it’s infected now, it’s going to be a big challenge.

If you make a mistake at work, you don’t have to torture yourself. You just have to learn from it. This way you ensure that you do not make the discouragement even greater yourself. Then think about all the times when you did well. That way you can direct your negative feelings. It will allow you to return to your inner peace.

Focus your attention on something else

You can compare it to what happens to small children when they cry. You try to distract them with a toy. Similarly, if you notice a negative emotion starting to overwhelm you, you can focus on another task. You distract your attention and get the opportunity to return to an inner state of peace. Controlling attention plays an immediate role in stopping the negative emotional cycles that feed on themselves.

Distance yourself from the situation through meditation

Several scientific studies have shown that meditation helps to prevent negative thoughts and emotions. Meditation can help control your fears and reduce your anxiety. Because it works on breathing and concentration.

Find a quiet place, breathe slowly, and feel the air gently enter and exit your lungs. Meanwhile, your mind and muscles begin to relax. Practice meditation every day and you will gradually achieve good results.
