I’m good at angry. Angry generates energy and I love energy. I know what to do with energy from all of the other emotions — hurt, frustration, stress, joy, etc. Emotional energy propels me through the emotion and then I can be done with it.
I don’t know what do with an emotion that is energy negative or neutral.
Hypothesizing what KTTW would say, the stillness of sad is difficult because it just … is. And I don’t like to be forced to do anything, much less just … be.
Sadness (and even contentment to a degree) depletes energy.
Since the coping strategies I’ve used aren’t appealing (positive sign, albeit annoying) and Google tells me that I need to exercise to stave off depression. I guess I’ll try that. I know it will help but as mentioned, sadness is exhausting.
I’ll try to plank as much as I can inside of five minutes. Hold please.
Later…
I ate a bag of chips instead. Now I feel sad and bloated.
Later still…
I made it two minutes in plank pose. Meh. Jury’s still out, but I don’t feel like crying. Credit to Sun Chips or two minutes of planking? Who knows.
Five minutes later…
Okay, fine. Exercise helps. Bah.
