I know how it feels like to live in agony, and I know how It feels like to be neither happy nor satisfied.
- But why do you have to feel sad?
- Are these sad feelings nothing more than a result of a mood swing?
No, they are not; these sad feelings are messages sent to you by your subconscious mind to motivate you to take action.
Why Do We Feel Sad?
Like all the other emotions we experience, sad feelings indicate that something is going wrong in our lives. The root causes for sadness are uncountable, but they can all be summarized under one big category, Unsolved Problems.
The more unsolved problems you have, the more likely you will feel sad from time to time. You don’t have to solve the problem to feel good completely, but you need to solve it.
See this example below for a better understanding of the concept. This example will explain to you how communication happens between you and your subconscious mind.
Your Subconscious Mind Hey, you may not get a raise this year, and you are not taking any action, so I am sending you some sad feelings to motivate you.
Oh my God, I am feeling sad, I am feeling sad. Why, why is this happening to me, God, why, why me??
A few weeks later, you discovered that you are feeling sad because you are afraid of not getting a raise, so you started to work harder.
Your Subconscious Mind I can see you are taking action, so there is no need for the sad feelings; I am withdrawing them again.
As you can see, your subconscious mind found no more reason to keep the sad feelings, and so they disappeared. When you feel bad, your main focus should be finding the root cause of these feelings rather than solving them.
Feeling Sad Without Knowing Why
Feeling sad without knowing why is usually the result of having too many accumulated problems in your subconscious mind to the extent that you don’t know which one is the real reason for your sad feelings or depression.
Some people escape from solving their problems using drugs; others escape from them by sleeping, while a third category escapes by going into a new relationship.
People use hundreds of methods to bury their problems deeper in their subconscious minds, but the subconscious mind never gives up, and it will always reply by sending a more intense sad feeling to wake them up.
If you don’t really know what’s making you feel sad, then start by sorting out all of the problems you have and then try solving them one by one. When you come along with the one that is causing your sad feelings, you will feel better.
Why Do I Feel Sad all the Time?
Feeling sad all the time is one of the symptoms of depression. You may be feeling sad because you are depressed. I consider depression a message to tell you that hope was lost and that you should take action to restore it.
Some people face problems as soon as they encounter them, while others bury them deeply in their subconscious minds or throw them behind their backs.
When they do so, their subconscious minds usually respond to depression. The key to dealing with depression is taking action and not allowing your problems to pile up.
How to Stop Feeling Sad
Whether it’s an unsolved problem or a problem buried in your subconscious mind, the result will be sad feelings. The only way to deal with these sad feelings is to solve what can be solved and accept what cannot be solved; only then will your sad feelings go away.
If you don’t like this approach, you can start it the other way around by starting a journey towards feeling happy.
