When we go on a car trip, planning the route and anticipating stops is inevitably better. Before GPS and easy navigation apps, using physical maps was necessary. Without that, disaster loomed.
Charting our emotional course is equally important. Some days, we may feel down or melancholy. Gloomy weather, a family member leaving home, or upsetting news can trigger these feelings.
It happens. That’s okay. We’re entitled to our emotions. What’s crucial is understanding why. Once we do, we can project forward and begin our emotional journey. Do we want to wallow in sadness, or can we find the bright side and embrace it as a reason for joy?
We can often dictate our moods and feelings. Emotions happen, but how we allow them to manifest is our choice.
