Tuned Emotions. (For Your Eyes Only....) Kiss week 92

Writing this when I know I'm not in the best of moods is quite a new experience.
I had to go too #dbuzz for my last post cause of how hectic yesterday was and I was too lazy for a longer post.
Hence today is gonna have a longer post and I was out looking for prompts after having and losing a bit of a shouting contest with my mom.

African kids can't win such contests it seems 😔

Anyways I came across this #KISS prompt on the minimalist community and thought what where the odds?

How tuned in are you with your emotions? How do you identify when you’re not okay, and what are some of your coping mechanisms for optimal well-being?

So I put on my Deezer shuffle and started writing while listening to a rather lovely mix 💽🎶

If I were to be asked the question...

How tuned in are you with your emotions?

It would take me little to no time for me to self diagnose myself. I don't mean it as a boast or anything of the sort but I've always been pretty meticulous about my mental.
Probably because, I was an early reader who read the books who weren't quite for his age grade.
Learnt a lot of words and concepts so I wasn't one who all for emotional deceit.
I knew my envy from my anger to my pure unbiased love.

I can't really say how I know when I'm not okay because it's really not something that can be easily explained.
I could just be going through a train of thoughts and my self conscious would be like...

Woahhh quite a jealous thought there Seki

Then I relook the facts and wonder if I actually have a reason to be feeling this way, I begin asking myself questions

• Am I actually jealous?
• Jealous of what?
• Why would I be jealous?

From then it becomes a full on discussion with myself, about my emotions.

These of course are considering the emotions that can be disguised as other emotions, for jealousy can easily disguise itself as irritation or anger or something else.
I feel it's one emotion that isn't quite easy to self diagnose, well jealousy and love.

How do I deal with the bad and nasty emotions I may be feeling?
At this point in my life, due to circumstances and such, I have only one remedy for any and all emotional unwellness.

Music and Nature!

Like I stated at the beginning of this post, I was in a foul mood and right now I'm loads better.

Still a bit vexed though 😂

But better still. This is because of the current setting I created before writing this post.
There's nothing more therapeutical than a list of great songs and a wonderful view.

Some would argue books, but no story is better told than a story that follows a tune

For nothing's more calming than a good song in your ear and a nice view at the setting sun.🌄
