PCOS Blog Post: Emotions

Yesterday, I had the worst headache that I've had in a long, long time. Normally a cold wash cloth and a couple pain relievers really help. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.

I'm not an overly, outward emotional person, which means I tend to internalize my emotions more than others. I recognize this about myself. I make an effort to let out my frustrations; by just let things go through exercise or yoga. If it continues to build up it just creates a larger problem; like the awful headache I had yesterday.

In the past, my inability to deal with my thoughts and feelings has made me more stressed out than yesterday. Hence, the reason for taking up yoga and learning to de-stress. However, my headache was brought on by the exception to my own rule. I let something get to me way more than I should. Guess who paid the price? Not the person that annoyed me, but I did. It's not worth it. That's why you must have a couple of outlets for your stress.

I've made significant progress towards dealing with my emotions. Learning to handle stress through yoga and just asking myself is this going to matter tomorrow, is this going to matter next week or next month. Most of the time I find myself saying, "absolutely not."

I can not put enough emphasis on the importance of not keeping your feelings and frustrations bottled up inside you. It only causes more unnecessary issues that you have to face. My over reaction wasn't worth it.

By letting things go you have less to worry about. I know we could all use that!
