Me and My Emotions

This is not the best time to write about my emotions. For one, I am pregnant, which means that I am more emotional than the usual because all my hormones are acting up. Yes, I do find myself acting up as well. Easily crying over the simplest thing that makes me sad or upset. But I am trying to control my emotions not wanting my daughter to imbibe the negative feelings I have. As they say, it will be harder for me if she does come out and becomes cranky and emotional as well.

Well, last Sunday, through our community, there was a Women's forum that was organized for the wives and widows and the separated ones. It talked about the emotions of women and how to address it. It was good in a sense because it gave me ideas not only on how to control my emotions but how to address my emotions as well. It was also a blessing that during those days, I was reading the book Eat.Pray.Love and was actually on the part were she was trying to find balance in her life as well. I found the book interesting because I can very much relate to the author during those times that she tries to address her emotions and tries to make them settle. No, my life is not dramatic as hers (the author of the book) but I feel there were good points that were raised in the book that I can very much use in my life.

So now, I can say that I am a work in progress as regards to how I deal with my emotions. I already choose my battles and hopefully, whenever I find myself being emotional again, I can do the right approaches like what I have heard and read, and God-willing end up not really avoiding or repressing the emotion, but dealing with it the way it should have been dealt.
