Life’s wave like crests and troughs are inescapable and inextricably linked, emotionally down in the troughs and elated at the crest. I love helping clients to manage their emotions and not get caught in the volatilities and vortexes of these emotional cycles. When one is above the centre point, riding the crest of the wave, if too high and exaggerated the crash is inevitable. Challenging or humbling circumstances arise to get one back to the centre point or equilibrium. Similarly in the trough, times of feeling low, depressed or shameful, one tends to draw in encouragement, someone or something presents an opportunity or a form of support. It forces one to return to high priority living.
The current pandemic is an example. For some it is perceived to be only destructive and devastating but many people have found creative and innovative ways to engage, interact, reflect and learn. 

The more we get stuck in a vortex of emotions the further away we get from being centred, living off purpose, meaningless and often unauthentic. When we on purpose, embracing both sides of life the pleasures and the pains, (peaks and troughs) in pursuit of a mission or purpose  we tend to be in a perihelion state, closer to the sun, a radiant state of mind. When we off centre we tend to be aphelion, moving away from the sun or off purpose, more emotionally volatile, shrinking not shining.

However we have the ability to change our perceptions and change our lives through quality balancing questions to restore equanimity. In the trough or challenging times, staying stuck in one sided thinking exacerbates the pain, rather ask what is the up side to this challenge, how is it helping my purpose, how is it serving me. Nature always maintains a balance of support and challenge.

As the great physist Richard Feynman stated, the natural laws of nature  are not obvious to the eye, but subtly encoded in and around us showing nature abhors a vacuum it brings about homeostasis, neutrality, light and equilibrium without exception. And so to in human emotions. Every crest is inextricably linked to a trough, its how we manage our percptions that determines the outcome of a challenge.

Using a mind model of physics and psychology I help clients to restore equanimity of the mind and homeostasis to the body, there is nothing that can’t be restored to balance, no event, issue or challenge needs to run you for long periods of time.
