How To Deal With Emotional Buildup So As Not To Stress Us Out

Take a moment and visualize how your mind fills up, drop by drop, like a glass bottle… until it overflows.

If this image is familiar to you, it is because you are well aware of the feeling of emotional accumulation. Maybe you think of it as stress or anxiety.

But, what exactly is stress ? Is it a physical accumulation? Of an emotional accumulation?

It is important to determine and recognize that we are saturated so that we can shed that weight.

How do we identify emotional accumulation?

When you feel exhausted and mentally saturated, you need to stop and take time for yourself.

It is as if we are loading our minds with a heavy burden. This anxiety and this lack of mental clarity tell us that we have accumulated thoughts, emotions and doubts that we do not know how to release. We need to let them go in order to allow our mind to reset and regain balance.

After having spent months under the pressure of responsibilities and worries, the holidays arrive, and it is then an opportunity to disconnect.

We realize at this moment that something is preventing us from feeling calm and relaxed; it is the proof that one suffers from emotional accumulation. On the other hand, it is also possible that this accumulation affects our body.

Stress manifests itself in the form of a mental build-up such as fatigue, or a physical build-up such as a lack of energy.

However, accumulation does not only affect adults; it can target 40-year-olds as well as 10-year-olds, and despite the age difference, all express the same anxiety.

For adults and children alike, treatment consists of the same thing: detecting the buildup and eliminating it.

The limits of accumulation in the mind

If we ask ourselves why we compare our mind to a glass bottle that is constantly filling, then another logical question arises: does this emotional accumulation have limits?

For some people, the limit would be to recap the bottle. However, by trying to control the emotional accumulation, one does not free oneself from stress, on the contrary; you drown, and you can explode, just as an overfilled bottle would.

Be aware of one thing; you only have one mind, and accumulating things in it is useless.

Why then do we seek to expand our capacity to accumulate more and more? Usually, when people ask the question, they say they don’t know, but they are fed up with it.

The different types of saturation by mental accumulation

We can be fed up because we have accumulated emotions of different forms:

• A saturation that changes our mood
• An accumulation that overloads our body: muscles, joints and vital organs
• An accumulation that leads us to a mental and emotional collapse and that prevents us from thinking and thinking before acting

In short, our physical and cognitive capacities are affected when we are saturated. Now is the time to look for the right emergency exit.

Some tips that can help you relax your mind and fight buildup

Managing the stress generated by the build-up consists of finding emergency exits that empty that bottle. Management has nothing to do with control.

The mental burden must gradually be relieved in order to be able to face and manage work and personal relationships with motivation.

These pathways of emotional decompression are like bubbles, little breaths that alleviate and relieve stress. A great escape is to laugh with people who share our sense of humor.

Physical activity can also help us eliminate emotional buildup; running, walking, swimming, or, in the case of children, playing soccer, skateboarding or any other activity that they enjoy – and that is not chosen by their parents.

Faced with accumulation and stress, we will opt for activities that we like and that allow us to feel good.

The company of our loved ones and our friends, which we can enjoy during meals (or snacks, in the case of children) connect us with pleasant sensations. In this sense, the fact of creating a space of mental comfort with our companion or a feeling of family for the child allows us to feel accompanied and valued.

An effective mode of communication against the stress caused by saturation

In a state of emotional accumulation, we usually feel lonely and helpless.

If we think about what led us to mental saturation and stress, we will realize that we are under social pressure pushing us to earn more money, to acquire better status, to have better. notes, or to get it right.

In this competitive society, we should rather worry about managing our emotions and improving our communication with others in order to feel loved and understood.

This feeling of belonging to a group can prevent us from falling into emotional accumulation.

By preventing stress, we also pay attention to our health, both physical and mental. We will therefore avoid the appearance of diseases, and we will create a healthier and happier society.
