There is a big difference between being emotional and feeling emotionally broken. The later can take you to places you never knew existed.
You know sin has tricks you’ve never seen, to sin this is fun and games, but to you and I it’s real pain. This pain can really hurt, this is the time we get emotionally broken.
The Breaking Point
It’s unfortunate, but many of us have to get to this point before we see the light. I have had this experience and I see others going down the same path.
So the question is, how do you know when you are emotionally broken?
I can tell you that you wake up drained, you go through the day confused and thinking only about what went wrong. Whatever brought you to this point is on your mind constantly, you’re depressed. Your guts are twisted inside, your appetite is gone and sleeping is disrupted by the thoughts of guilt and what ifs.
Each hour and day that passes is a struggle, all the fun in life is gone.
Recovering From Broken Emotions
What keeps you going if each day is so miserable? It’s that little sliver of hope, hope that things will get better, hope that time heals everything.
The problem is you don’t understand what sin is doing to you, what you are allowing it to do and how to overcome it.
Lets face it, there are some people who never do recover and they look for relief from the medical system (drugs) or they take matters into their own hands. Yes, I am saying they commit suicide. It’s not a pleasant subject to discuss, but it is reality and stopping the slide of broken emotions sooner than later can avert many actions of this kind.
Many times on this site I will talk about thoughts, how many things originate from our thoughts and emotions are no exception. Recovering from broken emotions requires a transition of thinking. Your mind will originate many more questions than answers, this process generates more emotions. For you to start the recovery process you need to find some neutral territory for yourself. What I mean by this is don’t beat yourself up for questions that have no clear answers.
Take for example people/relationships, people are one of the most emotional creatures around, we are flawed. You cannot control another person, you can only account for yourself, but at times we allow others to affect us, don’t blame them you are responsible for your actions.
When you reel in this fact you can start the healing process, getting back control heals broken emotions.
Now, I named this site No More Sin because something has to perpetuate negative thoughts and I believe it comes from unseen sources. If you believe this or not this is not important, what is important is understanding that your emotions are stimulated by thoughts, good or bad. And you have a big part in redirecting and fixing broken emotions, you have the strength to do it.
What Will You Do From Here?
Listen, only you know where you’ve been, what happened and to what degree your pain is. Myself, I am living proof that what was once broken can be fixed, this means you can do the same.
I have found that with time emotions slowly fade away, but what do you do in the meantime? Diversion is the key, find just one thing to divert your thinking and give your mind a rest from dwelling on the problem. Sin (or whatever you want to call it) will always try to redirect your thinking back to the problem, knowing this your job is to intercept this arrow and try to keep practicing a positive train of thought.
I know, I know it’s easier for me to say this than it is to do it, this is why it takes time.
Just take it one day at a time, you’re human and with this comes emotions, but the key is to rule over your emotions and not let your emotions rule over you. Work at it and in time you will be much better off for it.
