For me this time of each year is a point of renewing the cycling journey through life's emotional roller coaster.
Sometimes life is like moving from one place to another. When we move into a new house, it is unorganized and chaotic until everything gets put in the right place. In life, emotions and thoughts are often like the new house full of boxes. Sometimes we gotta unpack one emotional "box" at a time, throw out what's no longer need, and put what is needed in its proper place. It's a hard job, but it's all part of the process of controlling emotions.
When my emotional work gets too hectic, I will remember to keep things simple, to deal with one "box" at a time. Eventually, I'll get through the craziness, and everything will be in its rightful place.
