The Gift of Sadness!
In this episode of Your Mind is Trying To Kill You Podcast, Artist/Hypnotherapist, Alexandros Megas and Business Coach, Vincent Byrne discuss some of the emotional fallout that has come from the political events of the past week in a episode that is somewhat counterintuitively called ‘The Gift of Sadness’.
There are a huge number of people who are either disappointed, frustrated or sad as a result of current events and there are a large number who are ecstatic.
These extremes are concerning, on one level, because it confirms purview that we are being manipulated by those in power and in the media. They love to polarise us because it gives them the perfect ground to create deeper division and make their pointless politicking, for their own self interest, valid.
The guys talk about taking a different approach and view of the extreme emotions, in particular the negative emotions such as sadness.
We can use it to explore and question ourselves about what exactly is triggering us and causing us to have these feelings and fears. The fact that they are so heightened means that they should be easier to isolate and identify in order to really do something about them.
The object of the exercise is to get back to a place where we are more in control of our emotions and as such, able to operate independently of external influences and especially block out attempts by others to manipulate and control us.
It’s a completely different take on the weeks’s events and it will be relevant to how we view what unfolds in the weeks and months ahead.
So listen up and enjoy!
