Dealing With Cake of Sadness, Cause We All Have at Least One

I have this little guilty pleasure , I like to refer to emotions as cakes. Kinda sounds more fun, doesn't it?

So let´s call our sadness a cake too, deary.

If it would be a cake, it would probably be pretty grey, moulted and slightly stinky, having a smell of rejection, failure, fear and the general feeling of feeling low and being the devastation of the whole Universe. Kaboom!

We are afraid to fail, because we failed and surrounding people, maybe even our beloved one told us:

“whatever happened - do not fail”,

“failing is for losers”,

“only unprepared people fail”,

“well, you obviously do not have what it takes”,

“it is just not for you”.

And at that specific moment, it truly hurt us.

Somehow we got attached to these emotions, packing them in the backpack and taking it with us in every possible daily trip.

So what is the only way to deal with it?

The only way to deal with it is to find the true source of it.

You need to constantly brainstorm what kind of accidents brought you these feelings.

Sometimes the memories flow straight away to the specific events. Sometimes, you need to dig much deeper. And sometimes
