I honestly voice my frustrations
I honestly voice my frustrations
My opinions are valid, so I am honest about my feelings. I find constructive ways to communicate with the people in my life.
Everyone has frustrations. Annoyance and anger are natural human emotions. The best way to rid myself of these feelings is to acknowledge that they exist and to move forward.
Since I am in touch with my feelings, I know when I become angry or frustrated. As a calm and rational adult, I realize I must voice my frustrations in order to rid myself of them. Honestly voicing my frustrations is the best way for me to move past them.
I think of each frustration as a pesky fly. They are nothing more than small annoyances.
If each frustration I have is a fly, I imagine what would happen if all of those flies were to become trapped in a bottle. Picturing the chaos as these flies frantically search for an escape reminds me that I have a choice.
Instead of trapping the flies in a bottle, I can choose to release them. By taking the lid off of the bottle, I allow each fly to escape. All of the negative energy is gone, and the bottle becomes a calm space.
By comparing my frustrations to flies in a bottle, I can see the importance of releasing my frustrations. I imagine each frustration soaring away from me, and I am calmed by the image.
I refuse to let frustrations fester in my life so I take healthy steps toward letting go of petty annoyances. Sharing frustrations with others is therapeutic. I am relieved that I have the choice to honestly voice my frustrations and move forward.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. What frustrations have I experienced recently?
2. Have I allowed frustrations to fester inside of me?
3. What would happen if I were to “take the lid off of the bottle” and let these frustrations escape?

Healing flows through my body when I take a night out to do things I enjoy Relaxation is important to my well-being. I take a night off each month to do something I enjoy because I know this leads to greater health and productivity. When I work, I do so with all my heart, and when I relax, I allow myself to be equally present and engaged with the activity at hand. Sometimes I choose to watch a movie with friends. Sometimes I relish a hike through the woods. Other times, I simply prefer to stay home, curled up with a book. Whatever I choose to do, taking time for myself renews my energy. When I go back to my routine tasks, I find myself more focused and productive, with a better perspective on the stressors in my life. I am better able to deal with challenges that come up in my daily life when I have time set aside for relaxation. I am unapologetic about taking this time out because I know relaxation makes me a better person, more competent and better able to meet the needs of those around me when I return. It doesn't matter what others tell me is a good use of my relaxation time. The point is that I, myself, thoroughly enjoy whatever I am doing and I engage in my own personal relaxation wholeheartedly, without guilt. Self-Reflection Questions: 1. What do I enjoy doing most? 2. When was the last time I allowed myself to do something relaxing just for myself? 3. Which upcoming evening can I plan to set aside for relaxation and fun? |
