OVERLOADED | Elin Härkönens blogg

When the bucket of water gets overloaded, overfull... When the last drop can't fit in, everything spills over.

Try to see yourself as the bucket... And the water as your feelings and emotions ... Many of us today are really good at putting up a facade, a happy face saying that everything is GOOD. Even if it's not... And to be honest EVERYTHING in life isn't ALWAYS good. I think it's a good thing to be positive and showing people a happy side of you, even if you're not happy that particular day. In that way you spread a better atmosphare around you. You might light Up someones entire day by smiling and spreading positive energy around you, have you ever thought about that?

That's atleast what I try to do. I always try to aim to be the best version of myself. No matter how I am feeling or what's going on in my life.

I have chronic pain, and some days are really bad, but that's nothing I choose to go around and tell everyone? Why should I? What would I get out of that? More than spreading a negative energy around me?

That's NOT what I want to bring to this World.

I am a positive person and I want to share that.. that's the way I am and what I value as important. --

BUT . When you always try to " hide" your negative feelings, your pain or the problems in your life, you'll eventually get overloaded with feelings and emotions. The bucket of water gets full and when the last drop can't fit in, EVERYTHING spills over.

I believe it's a good thing...to let all the feelings you have been carrying around leave your body. It often comes as tears. Crying is a good thing, IF you do it for the right reason.

All what I have been talking about normally happens to me now and then. I'm happy, happy, happy and all of a sudden it gets too much. The water spills over and my feelings are leaving my body.

Thoose of you who have experienced this know how good it feels afrerwards, right? You feel so much lighter . Your body is not carrying around all that extra weight. Your bucket of water is empty and you are ready to put your smile back on again and spread POSITIVE energy around you.
