I mean, it was not enough.

Humiliating. Really? Yeah. Like I was very ashamed, but I didn't know how to stop.

During that time, what I recognized after some time is that I was at odds with my emotions. And I think what it was is that I tried so hard to never feel the way I had felt when I had been in that house with my mother that first I disconnected from my emotions. And then in my young 20s, I was at odds with them, meaning I would fight anxiety. I would fight depression. I would fight sadness.

I would fight frustration like I didn't want it. I want to get rid of it. And it wasn't until I was probably just in the last six, seven years that I was like, I can take them with me. They're not bad. And I started engaging with them in a healthy way and just changing my relationship with them rather than trying to stuff them down, suppress them, get rid of them. Yeah, exactly.

Well, it's actually funny because I think that when I was 19, I would feel an emotion and then I would drink or I would do drugs. Then it turned into, I would work out, I would study, I would work. And so I just replaced it, which I mean, Hey, it was something a little more productive, but yeah.

I wasn't addressing it. And so it's still, I still felt very anxious all the time. I still felt very stressed. And so now rather than the moment that I feel stressed or I feel anxious, I go into action. I go into, I say, this is my mental cues, absorption, absorption, which is like, I absorb the emotion. I'm like, let it fill me up. Let me feel it. Um, now I don't need to indulge in it.

I don't need to ruminate, but I can take five minutes to feel what I'm feeling. And it's not because I need, I believe that I need to do some kind of mental rumination to get over an emotion. It's because I want to teach my body that it's nothing to be afraid of and that's nothing to run from. And that's helped me so much because.

I say, okay, I'm going to give myself five minutes and then I'm going to go on with what my day was going to be. I'm not going to let the emotion derail me from my day because I know at the end of the day, at the end of the day, that day helps me achieve my goals if I keep, if I follow the plan, you know?

And so that has been the biggest change that I've made in the last decade has just been my relationship with bad negative emotions.
