We have all heard about being Independent and having enough financial stability to live our lives comfortably. Often, money is prioritised over everything else and we are not able to understand why and how, even after having all the comforts of the world, our life feels hollow and empty.
For many years, we have struggled to grasp the freedom, the essence of life, to find what living is all about and through that struggle we have left the real meaning, the real aim of starting this journey behind. Independence is not only concerned with finances, above all, it is our emotions that require autonomy.
Think of a situation, where you have had a conflict with your partner, your friend or a work associate and are unable to manage your emotions while being dependent on them to make you feel better. Would you feel better? The ability to take care of your feelings during stressful situations or otherwise determines how emotionally independent you are.
Emotional independence is generated from within when you work on yourself from the inside out and not the other way around. Life is going to make you feel under pressure, it is going to throw many difficult situations your way, your ability to stay calm, and resilient and navigating through all of it without being crumpled beneath the weight of it all can take you a long way.
Here are a series of questions that can help you look deeper into yourself;
Emotional independence is a state that arises from continuous, consistent and careful work every day on self. There is one way of living in comfort and letting things be the way they have always been but the other path, the road not taken, is to work on yourself, to realise the set patterns and to try your best to break them. As humans, we all are beings of emotions and are many times run by them. Therefore, our choices about gaining insight into how we feel and think can have long-term benefits.
Emotional Independence can transform your life and can help you achieve the peace and happiness you never imagined. It can build your relationships and strengthen your bonds. Remember, you can only help someone when you are safe and in control of yourself. With emotional stability, you’ll be able to aid those around you while simultaneously prioritising yourself.
