Living in a Numb Society: How to remedy the cycle of destruction

-


Okay, so I get enough interaction with the real world on one social media platform alone. It baffles me to find people believing in new social trends that raises a concern in my instincts. I mean, maybe I'm different. Okay so I am a lot different. I tend to notice more serious issues in matters that normal people don't. I've learned to accept that over the years. BUT how can people not see what is really happening here in the real world? 
It seems as if we have forgotten a lot of things. To make the mistake in thinking we're being free spirited by outright disrespecting our own selves to the core. What's happened here? Thinking we have specific rights only to really denounce ourselves in showing the world what we really think of ourselves inside. Do we ever really think anymore? Or are we just going with the flow? 

The world is constantly changing..it ebbs and flows. So should we ebb and flow too? Should we just "do" because it's what we're all doing now? I get it, things can get complicated. What's right? What's wrong? The world spins and spins in a whirlwind, yet it's all so calm all at the same time. How is this so? It's as if the battles that were once above everyone's heads have been let loose. All of what we knew was bad has been introduced to us in small little doses over a period of time so that now, that it's all exposed, there is no shame, no guilt, no conscience in our thinking anymore. Jiminy Cricket has left the building. We have been sedated and have become numb to what is wrong; so now we can't see straight or know what is right. 

I’ve noticed that a lot of the things we think are right, that make us do wrong come from following our FEELINGS. It could be as simple as feeling tired, feeling bored, feeling unloved, feeling impatient, feeling angry, feeling in lust, feeling we have more rights than the other, feeling inadequate, feeling superior, feeling alone...

FEELINGS are not bad. We are human, we feel.

BUT following your feelings is actually a bad thing. Our feelings constantly change. Feelings are unstable. They go up and down everyday. If you live life making choices based on your feelings most times, you're probably miserable right now. Following your feelings will get you to make the wrong decisions almost all the time. We are imperfect people. We love comfort too!, and if you haven't already noticed, life gets uncomfortable. This is normal for everyone. You're not experiencing these feelings alone. 

How to remedy the negative feelings:

Take hold of your thoughts. Capture your thoughts. 
Ask yourself why you're feeling this way.
Recognize what you need. Determine if it's rational. 
Slow down. 
Take a break, or a breather.
Talk to someone you trust.



Remember, if you're feeling down in anyway and you're having bad thoughts, you do not have to dwell on it and keep thinking about it. Take hold of it and take control of your life. 

Try this activity to help you take hold of your emotions:

I challenge you to fill one of these charts (at the very bottom of the page) out per day. Choose a mood you’re experiencing, write the reason why you’re feeling the way you do. Then write how you think you can take hold of these thoughts. Slow down, take a moment, and…

Ask yourself:

Is it necessary?
Is it worth thinking about?
Is it my problem?
Are these things I can control? 

Once you have taken time to sort things out, write under remedy how you can address the issues and concerns, if you’ve answered yes to any of these. It may be a process and it’s definitely okay. 
If you’ve answered No to all of them, then you need to redirect your mind by throwing it out, delete it from your hard drive and replace the space with truth. It may mean determining people’s character and knowing you can’t change it, so let it go. It’s not your job to change anyone. It may even mean realizing that YOU are the problem and you need to change your thoughts and actions accordingly. 

Here are a few tips and promises from your maker Himself :

Philippians 4:8
Psalm 51:10-11
Isaiah 26:3
Ephesians 6:11
Galatians 6:9
Romans 12:2


Remember, you may not have control over things, but you can choose to equip yourself and have control over your life by putting things into practice. It’s more powerful than it may seem right now. Have faith and you’ll see!
