Look across the field, see a letter arriving,
Smoke is in your eye, you draw a smile.
From the fireplace where my letter is burning,
You’ve had time to think about it for a while.
Well, I’ve walked two hundred miles,
It’s end of my destination and the moon is high.
It won’t matter the hardship,
Or even colds and hots
When night comes falling from sky.
I can see you from fire place,
And I know you’re hurting,
Sorrow covers you all over,
Yesterday we were as one
Now we don’t have anyone
I can’t provide you with an easy answer,
I have no means to lie
You know all about it,
It fits you like a glove
When night comes falling from sky.
I can see your trembling heartbeat like a woken river,
You must have been protecting me,
I’ve never asked you,
To set yourself up for a fall.
You couldn’t overcome darkness,
As you watched me falling in depth of fire.
Stick around, as I want only you,
Don’t search for me, I’ll see you
When night comes falling from sky.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection,
I know, it was passion, where I crossed the line.
I know I am not a fool wanting your affection,
Even when fire is where I belong
For all eternity I think I will remember
That icy wind howling in corner of an eye.
I seek you but you find me
In a narrow border of a balanced mind
When night comes falling from sky.
Well, I sent you a letter
At the very start, but it was short,
This time tomorrow I’ll know you better
When my memory is as wide as your heart
This time I will be asking for your freedom,
Freedom from a world which is denied.
When the night comes falling from sky.
I have but one thing to say
This was my imagination
I was fast sleep
Burning in my thoughts
Letter was a mean to calm a whisper
Of fire within as I wake up to daylight
When night comes falling from sky.
Our emotion contains mixtures of primary and secondary emotions. We try our best to understand our emotions. Sometimes emotions need to be accepted, they need to be felt.
Sometimes we are not sure about what we are feeling, we maybe confused. We may need help to work through our emotion. We have more negative emotions than positive emotions. This is part of our evolutionary being. There are different levels of emotional intelligence, there is self awareness where the individual recognises subtle emotions and understand how these emotions influence their thoughts and behaviour. There is also self regulation where the person is able to control impulses, maintain emotional balance and how they response to situations, therefore they can stay calm under stress and adapt to situations and not to make decisions impulsively. Another level of emotion is our motivation, and our resistance to setbacks and following our goals. And another sign of emotional intelligence is empathy, where the person can perceive and understand feelings, perception and emotional needs of others. Lastly it is a social skill and whether the individual is competent in social situations, building and maintaining healthy and positive relationships.
In terms of our emotional health we need to be accepting of our faults and see our whole self with positive and negative emotions. We react to situations in certain ways and we may experience life in certain ways. Emotion is a big part of our reactions and maintaining our responses to stressful situations. We need to work on our self image, improve our self esteem and have a positive outlook towards ourselves. This helps us to have positive view of the future. Our emotional awareness and our emotional management are big part of our emotional health. We need to deal with stress in a healthy way and maintain balance while being empathetic towards ourselves and others.
Another factor to consider in terms of our emotional health is our internal frame of mind. This is a necessary condition for emotional health. We need to try and focus on ourselves and believe in our abilities instead of looking outwards for recognition and acceptance. Most importantly we need to look inward and to show ourselves that we are capable of greatness and great emotional health. Therefore we need to have a healthy and positive outlook of ourselves and to be reliant and accepting towards of self worth. This is an important condition because by no means we are perfect, therefore knowing and accepting ourselves as we are, helps us improve and grow towards our full potential.
Another important consideration for emotional health is our behaviour, the way we behave and the corresponding reactions we receive have impact on our emotional health. Therefore we need to be mindful of our actions and how it impact others. This is because others actions also impact us. Since we are social beings and part of our emotional health is our interactions with others, we need to make sure that we benefit from this interactions. In order to benefit from these interactions we need to learn to accept ourselves as we are, we need to take account of both positive and negative emotions. We need to accept others as they are and try to understand concepts from others point of views.
Lastly we need to improve our skills. We need to learn relevant tools that help us improve our emotional health. These tools can help us improve ourselves and emotional health. Therefore by practicing mindfulness, journaling, self compassion, physical activity, creative expressions, using self help meaning and grounding ourselves in nature can help us improve our emotional health. We all deal with difficult emotions, we all deal with difficult situations, what is important is to be open to learn new skills and to explore our options. We can then benefit from better self awareness through self care and improve of self knowledge.
