Ways to deal with feelings of worthlessness
Keeping in mind that everyone has feelings of worthlessness at some point in their lives, we can find ways to cope without giving in.
Our sensitivity will rise in lockstep with our personal growth. If you are self-employed in this profession, you should be aware that worthlessness sentiments are common. You can now face your own shadows by leaving the untransformed environment where you have always been right and judged. Remember that you may practise accepting yourself as you are. Mindfulness practises are incredibly effective for personal development. It's not worth reading books, listening to presentations, or attending seminars that make you feel incomplete, inaccurate, or inadequate.
One of the most widespread psychological misconceptions is that we should run as soon as we feel bad. "Negative" emotions are just as healthy as "positive" emotions. Bad emotions cause us pain, but any emotion is healthy and natural.
Negative emotions can hinder growth, maturation, and the search for meaning and purpose. So, feeling useless might be a motivator rather than a hindrance.
We can't regulate our emotions because they're messy. A magnificent sight may remind you of a childhood hurt, while a horrible fragrance may make you feel ecstatic. To a casual observer, everything is shocking. These ties are transient, you realise. According to famous neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor, feelings last far less time than we think. Taylor claims the chemical sensation process takes 90 seconds.
"Contradictions" help us ask better questions and connect with ourselves. We can sympathise with the sorrows of "others" in this way. Constantly thinking and reacting in the same way is one of the most detrimental psychological habits. We can be compassionate rather than judgmental when we are curious about our own and others' feelings. As we define ourselves, we could open ourselves up to new ideas. Learning new abilities will help us break free of preconceptions and deal with feelings of worthlessness.
Emotional resilience is the ability to turn negative feelings, thoughts, and experiences around. While avoiding negativity on social media or binge-watching a TV show can be pleasurable and relaxing at times, they cannot cure the underlying misery. They're only useful if they give you time to solve the issue. If they are utilised to oppress you, you may experience spiritual collapse.
To build resilience, it may be good to advance the notion of responsibility. We are the only ones in charge of our own lives. Breathing exercises can also influence people's resilience and outlook on circumstances. Or you can help other living creatures. The ability to reach and help all living beings in need, regardless of quality or quantity, is the greatest form of resilience. You don't have to do anything extraordinary to help another creature; merely being present can help both of you.
Finally, seeing reality objectively can make you more appreciative of your potential and talent in several areas. Never believe every negative thought that enters your mind...
