When the sky is cloudy, the sun is obscured, but as the clouds evaporate, the sun's rays appear and become more and more radiant. Likewise, the more we let go of ego, the greater is the space created in the environment"Ska_Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257991515463640176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793800275921133426.post-31403888332368508652013-03-15T05:23:12.703-07:002013-03-15T05:23:12.703-07:00I'm also in a transitional period in my life i...I'm also in a transitional period in my life in terms of my career. I can go from being crazy happy to extremely bummed all at once. What I like to do (and it might sound crazy) is to acknowledge whatever extreme emotion I'm having (usually when it's a bad one) and take a deep breath. I've told my closest friends and family to let me know when I'm letting my emotions get the best of me, and it really helps just knowing what you're feeling and making a conscious decision to pull them back. Good luck :)Kylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053683699650165240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793800275921133426.post-14271664400845120972013-03-14T23:34:57.406-07:002013-03-14T23:34:57.406-07:00I need all the help I can get with this, it is so ...I need all the help I can get with this, it is so hard for me to stay "cool"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07770630610100539771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793800275921133426.post-17350440974896010892013-03-14T20:51:35.763-07:002013-03-14T20:51:35.763-07:00A friend told me to try to "respond" to ...A friend told me to try to "respond" to situations (good or bad ones) rather than react. I think it implies that we have more of a choice over how we feel if we just breathe in and then respond in a slower way. I dunno, it's helped me :) I am definitely the same way. Super excited about things all of the time, and then terribly sad. Especially when the exes decide to show up on my computer.

My coach told us the key to doing well was not getting too down about bad shots and not getting too excited about good shots. It's not always easy (and I don't always succeed), but I really notice the difference in how I feel when I can keep my emotions grounded. <br /><br />Court<br />lovecourtxoxo.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05194958730911012623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793800275921133426.post-17450768216006960552013-03-14T13:28:43.883-07:002013-03-14T13:28:43.883-07:00I totally understand these feelings.
