The Protective Sphere of Emotional Freedom<\/h4>\n

Have you ever wished you could live inside a protective bubble that will keep you safe from hurtful things people say and do? If so, you\u2019re looking for emotional freedom. Emotional freedom is the process through which we learn to control our emotional state. Through this process, we build a metaphorical bubble around ourselves so any negativity that comes our way bounces right off. We\u2019d all love to achieve emotional freedom in some form. Here are seven ways to get it.<\/p>\n

Reframe Your Past<\/strong><\/p>\n

So many of us are caught up in who we used to be and what we used to do. It could be decades later, and we still can\u2019t let go of some bad decision that\u2019s embarrassing or shameful. Regret is hard to let go of, so what should we do instead? Reframe the past. You can\u2019t change what happened, so focus on finding the lesson in your bad decision. Call all your mistakes lessons and take a step towards emotional freedom.<\/p>\n

Forgive and Forget<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many people think forgiveness is only about letting someone off the hook, but forgiveness is also about choosing to let go of what someone has done to you, and it\u2019s an integral part of your emotional freedom. Forgive everyone, no matter what they have done. Forgiving someone doesn\u2019t mean that you believe what they did to you was okay; forgiveness means that you are letting go of how they made you feel. Don\u2019t hold on to your emotional pain, no matter where it comes from.<\/p>\n

End Toxic Relationships<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just because someone loves you doesn\u2019t mean they won\u2019t ever hurt you. But if the hurt is constant and intentional, you\u2019re in a toxic relationship. It\u2019s time to let that person go\u2014no matter who they are. You aren\u2019t going to work things out (you\u2019ve probably already spent years trying), so walk away. You will never be emotionally independent if you continue to let toxic people mishandle your emotions.<\/p>\n

Be and Accept Yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emotionally independent people aren\u2019t interested in being someone they\u2019re not. They think and act for themselves. To be emotionally independent you need to be yourself, because you are fine just the way you are. Don\u2019t pretend to be someone you\u2019re not just to make someone else happy. And accept who you are\u2014flaws and all. Your flaws don\u2019t make you bad or insignificant.<\/p>\n

Teach Yourself to Be Optimistic<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably been told that happiness is a choice and it\u2019s true. You have two choices in life, no matter what you\u2019re doing or experiencing: you can choose to be optimistic or you can choose to be pessimistic. If pessimism is the easier option, ask yourself why. If you\u2019re look for the good in everything, you\u2019re teaching yourself to be optimistic and you\u2019re on the path to achieving emotional freedom.<\/p>\n

Put Yourself First Sometimes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Putting yourself first doesn\u2019t make you a selfish person. Selfish people constantly put themselves first and don\u2019t care about other people. You care about other people, but you can\u2019t care so much for others that you don\u2019t focus on your own well-being. Learn to say no when you don\u2019t want to do something and stop worrying about disappointing others. Selfish people say no all the time because they don\u2019t want to help others or do anything that doesn\u2019t benefit them. You\u2019re going to say no because you really don\u2019t have the time, you need a break, or it\u2019s just too costly. When you put yourself first, you are practicing emotional freedom. You aren\u2019t letting someone else\u2019s disappointment take precedence over your emotional or physical needs.<\/p>\n

Prepare for the Backlash<\/strong><\/p>\n

The emotionally independent version of you could ruffle a few feathers, so you need to be prepared for some backlash. Suddenly you\u2019re not the people-pleasing, punching bag people have come to know and \u201clove.\u201d When we make big changes, we upset what others feel is the natural order of things. It\u2019s as if their happiness and success depend on you being a certain way. They certainly liked the old version of you better. But people who don\u2019t support your move towards emotional freedom don\u2019t need to be in your life. Let them go, along with everything else that wreaks havoc on your emotions. Here\u2019s to building your bubble.<\/p>\n
