Open Your Heart And Mind

Keeping things inside does not make them any better. In fact, holding on the secret fears, and secret feelings makes them seem a lot worse than they probably are. When you keep things on the inside, the weight of it all can tear you up, hold you down, push you into situations that do not serve your best interests. Holding on to things can cause all sorts of disease, chemical and emotional imbalance, complete confusion and plain old despair.

When you have a lot going inside, you must find some to let it out. You can talk about it. You might cry about it. If you are alone, you can shout about it. You can run it out, walk it off or go to the gym and work it out. You must let someone know what is going on inside of you. It is tempting to eat about it, drink about it or blow it up in smoke. A better strategy is to write about.

Each of us comes to that point when we trust someone enough to open ourselves up for review and examination. It's not always easy! It is a challenge to admit or acknowledge your own faults. It is even more difficult to accept that we have made some costly mistakes, poor decisions and bad choices. For some reason it seems that we don't want people to know that we are human. But we are we cannot hide what we feel forever. It is essential to our sense of well-being that we find a way to open up and let someone know what is going on inside.
