Have you ever intentionally numbed yourself?

Yea sometimes my emotions are too much or nothing at all, that’s the worst for me is when i feel nothing. Not fulfilled emotionally. Which is crazy because most of the time we are very successful and we have good things going for us but Idk deep inside there’s a sadness in Leos heart.

I wouldn’t try to numb the pain by doing drugs or alcohol at hurting yourself, please don’t do that. Just remember that some days are going to be good and some days aren’t and don’t force yourself to be happy all the time, that’s just not possible. Just have to ride out the emotions and don’t lose track of your goals. Hope that helps! Listen to new music or take a bath always helps me too.

Hi, no not by drugs or alcohol. I just meant like using breathing techniques or mantras or thinking something specific when emotions come. I do find I give too much sometimes and just want to be truly selfish for a bit like I have lots of great things happening over the next 5 months and i want to just not put myself last or let emotions derail me.

I share the same sentiments as you. I've did that for three years but i agree with lioness, we have to open our doors and let the good in too. Keep a constant check on yourself, make sure your eye is always on the price and give yourself enough space to be alone just so your emotions don't get overwhelmed.

I say this because i did not give myself enough space to check on myself and got too comfortable and it eventually backfired.

"I would like to do the same now but without the pain. I have so many opportunities coming up but i'm distracted because of my feelings and heart. Have you guys ever done that? How to get to that point without suffering life last time?"

it's been 3 years and youre still feeling the pain? im sorry to hear that.

No idea really but totally know what you're talking about.

Just gotta breathe thru it most of the time...

one thing I do is imagine future Wag looking back at present Wag, as past Wag and be all - dude you got thru it and remember that time you were so sad and hurting and now it's like just a memory? Good job Wag

I do this often and with ease. Especially when someone is being hurtful. I’ll numb it out till I get tired of it or the situation gets fixed

Yes, exactly what i need to do. How do you do it? Specific action steps you take?

I’m not a leo sun but I’m a leo moon and I can relate a bit to what you said here. I was at that point 7 years ago when my ex cheated on me. Single for 2 years. I avoided every single place we went to and everything we used to do. I didnt date and just put all my time and effort onto my job. Got promoted and things started to take off from there. I learned to watch movies on my own, eat alone, drink alone, do activities like bowling, traveling alone,etc.

If you have lots of opportunities you wanna focus on, then focus on them and start diverting your attention from your heart to the goal. Opportunities will only knock once and as far as love and relationships... if a man loves you, he will wait and stick around until you have accomplished what you need. A job wont leave you if you work hard enough but a man might no matter how much time and dedication you put in. So... thats my take on your situation as a leo moon. 🙂

Of course you have a Leo moon 😁

I don't know for sure if it answers to your question, but after my first failed relationship and some bad friendship... I sort of shut myself down and not believe in opening up to new people much for about 10 years? I was very selective of extending friendship due to the phobia of getting hurt. Just focused on my career after graduating but was unhappy with how i live it. Resulting in like less than 10 close friends that I can hang out or confide to?

Thank god for a recent break up, it threw me the other way. I began to be friendlier, livelier and overall positive in interating with people. Opening my heart out even though I am still in pain. Really motivated in joining new sports/groups/events and just going out to live my life to the fullest. #YOLOMODE

I'm just sick of shutting out myself to people due to being afraid of meeting some bad apples again. Also, this year I feel there's a lot of positive energy happening hence I'm just going to embrace anything that comes my way while being on the watch for negative people/energy.

Beautifulday, I think you meant you got hurt recently, you just don't want to go through the process of hurt and pain again? Even if you do hurt, just continue be positive, deep breathe does work to calm the mind. Smile through the pain, talk to close friends and then slowly but surely you'll feel the pain subside and the light will shine again? Make more girl/guy friends or reconnect with old friends, pick out the bad ones and keep the good ones, and who knows, maybe a genuine relationship awaits.

However, I do wonder is there an astrology explaination for the sudden change in how I view my life and how I am suddenly moving forward rather differently than who I used to be. Lol.. 😛

I agree with you completely. This is exactly what i want to do again but without coming from pain or because someone hurt me. I want to be able to do it on my own. I'm just having a hard time diverting my attention from my heart to the goal.

Don't have to rush though, I am still taking my time to divert from heart to the mini goals I would like to achieve this year. It really just take time...

You could try swimming or yoga, it will help you to meditate and clear your mind from the problems you may be facing. That's how I am trying to work through my demons as well. 🙂

Finding the right stimulation to motivate yourself towards the goal is hard. At times, I feel im actually doing them to distract myself than actually enjoying it on my own.

Often i turn myself to gaming, fitness but in the end, deep down inside me i'm still feeling under stimulated. i think people like us leos just requires love. :/

Awwwwwww xxx have you talked to leo recently? I am trying to control my emo leo moon. Today aqua bf was busy playing video games. Barely talked to me when he got home. I sent him a cosmopolitan mag link about unavailable men and he just laughed at me and said “LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 babe I’m here” like yeah.. youre there playing video games 😭😭😭😭😭 my leo moon needed attention!!!! Lol

No, I haven’t not yet. I noticed that with my Leo when he was emotional, I was happy, content and in my own world and when I was being clingy he had stuff going on in his world. Not only are Aqua and Leo opposites we feel things at different times so always know it WILL pass. I have Faith he will come back 🙂 our connection is way too intense for him not too 😛

How would you do it?

I wouldn't.

If you really want to be a part of those things, you will go after them quite naturally--

not because went to YOGA.

If you aren't pursuing what is in front of you, then you don't really want it.

General rule I've found helpful: If you don't know what to do in any given

situation, then STOP and re-assess.

It's alright to change course... esp if you've changed (and matured) from experience.

And that my LEOnine friend, is the Truth.
