Beauty Amidst Darkness

A few weeks before this interview with Neeta, I was asked during a speaking event, “what is your biggest fear?” My biggest fear is losing someone very close to me. In the episode, Neeta basically dives head-first into this fear of mine and it was exactly what I needed.  Death and grieving is a sensitive topic and she speaks about it with such authenticity and grace.

There are so many parts about death that many of us do not have the courage to fully talk about because of the pain that comes with it. Feeling pain is a necessary means to healing pain. The most we talk about it, the more we shine light on the darkness we are experiencing, we accept it and the darkness begins to dissipate.

You can either make the loss of a loved one an excuse to throw away everything you have, or you can make it a reason to value even more of what you have now and what is ahead of you.

Mastering Your Emotions

Acceptance and growth are two of the most courageous things we can ever do for ourselves. It’s an uncomfortable path to take… and it’s courageous. Plus, most of the time these things that we fear are just all in our heads and we make them out to be bigger than they really are.

“Sometimes we don’t know what we don’t know. Once we start to understand the things that trigger us in our life, then we can start to make changes. Make subtle changes and learn to accept.” – Neeta Bhushan

You are the sole creator and manager of your own emotions. No one can make you feel what you feel right now except YOU.

The first step to freeing yourself from your fear, whatever it is that you’re carrying right now, is always awareness. Once you’ve identified what triggers the fear emotions in you, then you can start to build from that and accept what you feel so that you can move through it. You cannot overcome anything by pushing it away or shoving it down. Embrace it, feel it and channel it into your purpose.

Finding Happiness Within

Are you checking in with your emotional health? Are you taking the time to joke around and laugh with yourself? You cannot find real happiness from other people or things. It MUST come from within you. Remember, you attract what you feel, so choose to be happy and choose to be surrounded by people who are healthy influences on you.

Take time to laugh. Laughter can be healing. In the episode, Neeta talks about how she used laughter to as part of her grieving process.
