One of the greatest weaknesses we experience can be the inability to understand our emotions and how they can affect us.  We tend to tell ourselves situations aren’t really happening and we bulldoze our way through each day.

But what we fail to recognize is these emotions aren’t disappearing, they’re actually bottling up.  Our emotions are something difficult to distinguish because they’re not visible and can’t be healed by putting a band aid on them.

When we don’t address our emotions as they arise, we are more likely to dump them.  Eventually, we can’t take it anymore and we may not even understand what it is that’s happening in the moment but we end up being the dump truck that just carried all these emotions and problems over time and now we’ve put our problems on that person that becomes our dumping ground.

In either instance, we have to be mindful.  Once this behavior begins, chances are it can happen again and again.  We can become comfortable with repeatedly not addressing your baggage and when the truck becomes full and we’ve carried the emotions long enough, we will dump them.

If we’re on the receiving end and don’t set boundaries, we’ll become complacent with allowing the behavior to continue and will easily be the dumping ground.  Those moments can be very intense and unpleasant for us.

We need support to help us sort through our barriers, but we have to be mindful not to overwhelm others in the process.  Keeping balance and boundaries is key.
