Feeling overwhelmed by other people

thoughts mindfulness mindful-life psychology meditation wisdom life motivation

There are times when we just feel so distracted with other people's action and feel anxious or stressed out with their behavior and then no one is able to understand our own actions or find a rational to it, which kind of further creates anxiety for us. Forget other people, we ourselves are not able to rationalize our own actions. So, in the first place why do we allow other people to affect us mentally? It is not something we do it with choice but it just happens and to get out of this loop there is a lot of inner work that needs to be done.

After my marriage I used to stay in a joint family and everyday I was facing a new drama and I was so emotionally drained out with all of that. I wanted to be cut off from all that, but I still kept getting dragged into the drama and then all the emotional turmoil. A little action of the opposite person would trigger me and I would feel like blasting out.

Moving out of the house and cutting out was not the option for me, that was the easiest way but I could not do that, so then I had to learn to find my peace living between the chaos. That's where my meditation journey began because I wanted a respite from all of that and I did everything that looked promising to heal me and to overcome the mental and emotional turmoil within. I was taught a lot of detachment exercises by my guru and they really helped me a lot.

With those practices I could reach to a stage where in middle of the chaos also I was able to cut out myself and find my balance. It was not easy, it was a job that I had to do everyday on myself, and then I got habituated.
It's not easy to alter our lives but it is not impossible also. Sometimes we cannot avoid people and situations in our life and we have to live with them, then the only option is to learn to live with them in a manner that brings you peace.
