any of life's emotional stresses,
shocks and challenges are out of our control. We don't know when they're going to happen, we don't want them and
we'd choose differently if we could.
Then also, many of life's emotional rewards can seem too few and far between - again,
feeling way too far out of our control.
Yet there are some key aspects of our emotional lives that
are within our control. And
the good news is, that taking charge of those things that are within our control can increase life's
emotional rewards, decrease the stresses and shocks, and help us weather them more easily when they do
occur.
Each of these various activities can all be summarized under the heading, "taking
care of emotional ground zero."
This is the part of our emotional lives that has to do with our very BEING - in other
words, our existence. To minimize the stresses and negatives in life and increase the positives, we need to focus
first and foremost on strengthening and improving these aspects of our lives because they contribute to our
survival.
For example, we can consider where we stand with each of the following and decide to
improve where we need to:
1. Do I get enough sleep, and is it of high enough quality -
deep, uninterrupted, restorative rest?
2. Do I feed myself nutritious food in sufficient amounts with high
enough quality and variety while minimizing intake of fake and/or
toxic substances?
3. Do I get enough air - do I breathe deeply enough, ventilate
rooms adequately, do what I can to keep the air of high quality?
4. To what extend is my attitude toward myself positive,
nurturing, supportive?
5. Do I give myself enough down time, so that I allow myself to
be a human being instead of a human doing?
6. Do I build and encourage relationships that support my right
to exist and honor my needs and feelings, while taking
constructive steps to free myself from those that are abusive,
critical, or downright toxic?
Paying attention to and improving these aspects of our lives that are within our
control, we build a firm internal foundation that can withstand the inevitable storms and earthquakes might
otherwise shatter us.
And the most important one is this first one, because it is the
foundation for all the other aspects of our lives. And for this part of ourselves to
thrive, we need key emotional nutrients that feed and nourish our healthy emotional growth in the same way that key
nutrients from food feed our physical self.
