So, yeah I know...I haven't blogged in a good while! I'm just so busy with everything going on in my life and around me. I've been taking care of people, friends, my love life, school, family issues (which is miles away), and work. Yeah know the normal issues. However, sometimes these stresses can get more complex than anyone would imagine. This makes me think of how there is a type of people who think they know it all and are worse off than you. Ya know, the people who try to out do everyone else because they are too concerned about being better than everyone else.. here's what you call cockiness. These types of people are no where near confident but think they are. It's situation like these where a person is defined as cocky or confident.Prime example: If a person comes up to these types of people and says, "hey I'm having a hard time juggling .....", the cocky person would say, "well at least you don't have this and this going on on top of everything you just said". I'm not saying this defines all people who are cocky, but if they were a repeat offender than I would be having a major problem with them. This is only from my personal experiences that I believe this is true. Maybe you have other examples or object this statement, but hey that's okay; we've all had different experiences and outtakes on life.
So some maybe wonder why this is a long time coming, well..... The other day I had a very interesting conversation like the one above with a person that is cocky. And I just got so sick of it that I put them in their place. Now if you knew me, I'm talkative but I do what I preach. It was one of those times where I couldn't handle it anymore. Yea know, they just get under your skin. Sometimes you need that in life; to just put someone in their place and it maybe helpful to them to experience something like that and it may not. But it definitely was a risk well worth taking. Now I know that the change in that person will only last for a short while, but they will be back to their old ways in no time.
So what does this have to do with wellness?? Well, I think and yes I think, that its healthy to be able to let your emotion go sometimes and not hold them in. Even if its just a venting session. But there will come a point in time that you will want to confront that person and I think its healthy to do so. Mine was not as harsh as it sounds but you need to talk in a low tone and soft voice. People WILL FEEL ATTACKED if you use a loud and high pitch voice. Trust me I know this because a lot of my preteen to early teen years were a lot like those types of conversations. I will freely admit that! I'm not perfect and I wouldn't expect others to be from a realistic stand point. But its healthy to be civil and let your emotions out in a controled environment such as a therapist or with a highly trusted friend. Then go and talk to the person that has been getting under your skin. It will make it easier to say what you need to say. I haven't always been great with these types of communication skills, but I have learned truly from the Athletic Trainers in my life, from high school through college. I would also have to accedit this to my roommate who is a very calming and excellent influence on points of view, experience, and how something sounds if it is said in different ways using different terms. I mean I guess she's good with words and how to say things because she's a creative writing major and she's kinda going to be a big deal author some day. :P
Stress is a much apart of life as are exercise and nutrition, but its really how its handled that effects how you feel, how your day is, what will happen next, etc. The list could go on and on!
So just do what you need to do to make the situation HEALTHY for you and the other person involved!
Sincerely,
Country Jewel :*
