State Of Mind:“The Emotional Roller Coaster”
Defining State Of Mind
Your state of mind is simply the quality of your awareness at any single moment in time.
And its core nature is constant change.
When someone we love breaks our heart, we fall into a torn state of mind.
When we find an extra $20 bill in an old pair of jeans, we soar into a cheerful state of mind.
In this article, we will explore the true root cause of your happiness and unhappiness by examining the ever-changing nature of your state of mind.
State Of Mind In Depth: The Mind Is An Emotional Rollercoaster
In every waking second, your internal state is in a subtle process of fluctuation.
As you move through daily life, rapid reactions trigger deep within your subconscious. The hidden quality of those reactions dictates how you feel right now.
One minute brings joy; the next brings sudden anxiety.
Your mind thus is like an emotional roller coaster, driving you across extreme spectrums of fear, excitement, turmoil, and peace.
It is easy to blame external events for these shifts.
A genuine compliment brightens your whole morning, while getting stuck in traffic can throw your mind into brief, ridiculous chaos.
It feels as though life out there is constantly pulling your strings.
Yet when you look deeper, you discover a profound truth: you have always been the one driving the emotional car.
The Power of Stillness
Meditation is the practice where this realization comes alive.
When you sit in total silence without external distractions, you witness the full mental circus firsthand: bubbling emotions, racing anxieties, and random thoughts about what you had for lunch three days ago.
You watch yourself move from total zen to complete frustration in a matter of seconds.
By choosing to stay Still amidst these passing storms, a dramatic shift occurs.
You realize you possess the power to release internal chaos and anchor yourself in peace.
And if you choose to feed the chaotic thoughts, the drama simply continues like an endless reality TV show inside your head.
Over time, meditation proves that you are the Creator of your own state of mind.
This realization is utterly transformative.
Once you see yourself as the Creator, you naturally begin to ask:
"Why do I keep handing the steering wheel of my mind over to random passing thoughts?"
"When dark moments hit, why do we dwell on heavy thoughts and convince ourselves they will last forever—when we could simply step back and change the channel?"
The moment you realize you can choose Stillness over Chaos, the darkness dissolves much faster—much like realizing a scary shadow on the wall was just your coat rack.
Path Of Creator: State Of Mind
Why is our state of mind so volatile?
The answer lies in our unresolved suffering. Your internal world fluctuates wildly throughout the day because it is constantly reacting to unexamined wounds beneath the surface.
When you get triggered, your peace vanishes—not because the universe conspired against you, but because someone bumped into an emotional bruise you’ve been carrying around for years.
This is where the true journey of Self-Knowing begins.
Rather than numbing the pain with a tub of chocolate ice cream, you choose to investigate the actual cause of your internal turbulence.
With time, you uncover the hidden scripts running silently in the background:
"Everyone must agree with me," or "If I make one mistake, my entire life is ruined."
These subconscious beliefs are the real generators of your emotional storms.
Through meditation and Stillness, you realize that suffering is never permanent unless you choose to cling to it like a cozy, dramatic security blanket.
As you address and release these underlying triggers, your state of mind stops swinging wildly from one extreme to another.
The destination of Self-Transformation isn't a fake, forced customer-service smile—it is towards a Still and Clear Mind.
Desires and Decision-Making
Why does stabilizing your state of mind matter so much in practical life?
Because every decision you make is filtered through your current state of mind.
Consider a fundamental life question:
"What should I do with my life?"
The answers you receive depend entirely on your emotional state at that precise moment:
- If you are in a fearful state of mind, your answers will avoid risk and keep you safely hidden in your comfort zone.
- If you are in an exhausted state of mind, your answers will lean toward doing absolute bare minimum.
- If you are in a courageous state of mind, your answers will inspire bold, transformative action.
The quality of your answers is always limited by the quality of your state of mind.
Think of it like asking a friend for a huge favor.
The best time to ask is to wait until they've eaten and are in a great mood. You don't ask them when they are hungry or stuck in traffic because that will almost guarantee a sharp "Absolutely not."
Treat your own mind with the same wisdom.
Before making critical life decisions or searching for direction, practice Stillness first. Calm the mental waters so you aren't making permanent, long-term life plans based on a temporary bad mood.
Still the mind before responding to an irritating text or argument, so you don't say something sharp that takes months to undo.
Still the mind before sitting down to write or brainstorm, so your creative ideas flow from inspiration rather than mental clutter.
Clear your Mind with Stillness.
Step off the emotional roller coaster.
Wash away the mud of your emotions, uncover your true desires, and act not from your reactions—but from the wisdom of Clarity.
