Let’s talk about something that’s probably haunting you right now.
You’ve noticed it, haven’t you? That same emotional pattern creeping back into your life. That anger, that sadness, that frustration—it’s like a broken record, playing the same tune over and over.
You’re not alone. We’ve all been there. But here’s the truth: You don’t have to stay stuck in this loop.
The Cycle You Can’t Ignore
Think about it:
- The last time you felt this way, you were in school.
- The next time, you were in college.
- Then at your job.
- Then in your marriage.
The scenery changes, but the script stays the same.
You’re not moving forward. You’re going in circles.
It’s like driving to a destination and passing the same town over and over. “Iruttupallam again?!” If you keep seeing the same place, you’re not going anywhere. You’re just spinning your wheels.
Why You’re Stuck
Here’s the hard truth: Your emotions aren’t random. They’re cyclical.
- For some, it’s every month.
- For others, every three months.
- For some, every year or even longer.
These cycles aren’t just emotional. They’re physical, mental, and even cosmic. The earth has cycles. The moon has cycles. And so do you.
The question is: Are you aware of them? Or are you just along for the ride?
Trap of Unawareness
Most people don’t even notice they’re stuck. They blame the scenery:
- “It’s my job.”
- “It’s my relationship.”
- “It’s just bad luck.”
But the problem isn’t the scenery. It’s you.
Your lack of awareness makes you a slave to these cycles.
- If you’re scattered, you’re trapped in the smallest cycles.
- If you’re a little focused, you’re caught in longer ones.
- If you’re completely unaware, you’re just along for the ride.
Way Out: Awareness and Action
Here’s the good news: You don’t have to stay stuck.
- Notice the Pattern
Start paying attention. Is it happening every month? Every three months? Every year? Write it down. Track it. Awareness is the first step to freedom. - Ride the Cycle, Don’t Fight It
Cycles aren’t your enemy. They’re your opportunity. Every time a cycle hits, it’s a chance to change. Use the destabilization to your advantage. - Push the Cycle
If it’s happening every three months, push it to nine. If it’s nine, push it to eighteen. Stretch the cycle until you break free. - Transcend the Cycle
Instead of dodging the cycle, ride it. Use it as a springboard to transform your life.
Bigger Picture: Liberation vs. Well-Being
Here’s the choice you have to make:
- Well-being: Live within the cycles. Manage them. Find some peace.
- Liberation: Break free from the cycles. Transcend them. Find true freedom.
Which one do you want?
Step Out of the Loop
Today, take a moment to reflect.
- What emotional patterns keep repeating in your life?
- How often do they show up?
- What’s one small step you can take to break the cycle?
Remember: You’re not just a physical being. You’re mental, emotional, and spiritual. And you have the power to rise above these cycles.
The next time you find yourself in Iruttupallam, don’t just sigh and keep driving. Stop. Look around. And ask yourself: “Do I want to keep going in circles? Or am I ready to break free?”
