Emotional muscles - How to grow stronger emotionally

Emotional muscles

 

How do you believe

you can grow strong

emotionally?


Certainly not

when everything always runs smoothly

and you have no difficulties!


No, your emotional muscles grow

by overcoming obstacles.


Of course when something bad happens

you can get stuck in a victim mentality

for years and have self-pity with yourself.


That’s not how you grow stronger;

instead you make life difficult

for yourself and all of your surroundings.


But when you start looking

beyond yourself

and do good for yourself and others

no matter what your emotional state,

then you will soon find joy again

at a level that you may not have

ever known before.


Do not allow yourself

to be reigned by negative emotions.

Do not let them ruin your life.


Set good goals

and pursue them

instead of vegetating

in bitterness, anger,

hatred and sadness.


Do you want emotional muscles?


Then you should become a survivor.

Someone who says:

I am valuable anyway

and I do not let myself be discouraged

or let the situation get me down.

Proverbs 16:32 (The Israel Bible)

Better to be forbearing than mighty, To have self-control than to conquer a city.

Better to be slow to anger than to be a mighty warrior,

and one who controls his temper is better than one who captures a city.

The second problem - PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder)

The second problem I have a problem, or so I thought for a long time. Something bothered me immensely. Whether it was: suffering, illness,  injustice, bullying, abuse, loss, or anything else that threw me off track, what's certain is that the pain of it was etched into my mind. I got incredibly upset about it, simmered with anger and resentment, shrouded myself in self-pity and depression, occupied myself with all sorts of distractions, and did all sorts of things to try and get rid of the pain. Soon I realized that the thought about my problem had become lodged inside me, like a bird that has built a nest  in my tree. I'm starting to brood over the negative feelings. Day and night, they give me no peace. I'm getting so worked up about this terrible situation that I'm constantly preoccupied with all sorts of possible and even impossible scenarios. Soon, I'm experiencing increasing difficulty concentrating. Coping with everyday tasks becomes more and m...

Information about the posts in March 2026

All posts posted in March 2026 have a specific order to them. I have placed them in 3 different categories: 1. The Problems 2. The Considerations 3. The Solutions Posts, that will be posted after March 2026 do not have this order, but will be posted randomly only sorted by the time they were posted. It is my hope, that the reader realizes, that he/she is not the only one struggling with a certain problem. I have spent much effort going into the depth of each problem with the hope that the reader can identify with it. Over time I have come to realize that the way we react to problems in principle is timeless. We all get stuck with the same or similar reactions. At the beginning those reactions are rather unproductive or even destructive.  It is my goal to not only honestly write about different problems, but also give the reader, who is seeking solutions good thoughts to consider. I do wish for each reader to read the lyrics with an open mind and contemplate what is wr...

When the soul cries out - Emotional pain

When the soul cries out   When the soul cries out then the head is full with pain. When the soul cries out then it is obvious that you cannot concentrate. When the soul cries out then the everyday routines become difficult. When the soul cries out then any contacts with the outside world become more and more difficult. When the soul cries out then you become more impatient with yourself and others. When the soul cries out then you need a lot of love and comfort  in order to heal again.     (1606121555-1912,1706120737-0747)     Psalm 147:3 (The Israel Bible) He heals their broken hearts, and binds up their wounds.
