Are WE emotionally overweight?
What does that even mean?
I am emotionally overweight when I stay in
- The pain of past hurts
- When I keep thinking of how I have been hurt
- When I can’t let go easily
- When I can’t forgive easily
- When I feel sad all the time
- When I am angry, irritated
- When I hate
- When I feel envy, jealousy
- We feel Judged and we Judge others in return
- When I have negative thoughts, waste thoughts.
- When I gossip.
The list goes on.
When I am emotionally overweight, my inner beauty is dulled, and I struggle to live a happy life in all aspects of my life.
How can I become light and easy?
How can I drop the pain and hurt from my life? One recognise you are stuck, understand your triggers and change your response.

Fact
Where our attention goes is what we attract in life. If I am in pain always then I will attract more of that. If I constantly think of the negative stuff then I just attract that. Be positive and think positive. Affirmations and gratitude really help. Reframe your thoughts. See benefit in everything, then you will shine like the diamond you are.

Profound and so very inspiring post, Bella. The quote was so true to itself. Everything starts with us and how we look at life is what makes everything work. Lovely post.

I completely agree with ‘where your attention goes is what we attract in life’. I’ve been overwhelmed with intrusive thoughts recently. When they come I say ‘ let the ghosts rest in the past’ and this is helping to couple with the intrusion.
