Sometimes it happens slowly you don’t even notice it at first but day by day, something inside starts to go silent then you stop replying to messages, you laugh less than you used to and even things you once loved don’t move you anymore

I’s not sadness, It’s not anger It’s something else like a kind of emptiness, your heart is sitting still watching your past move.

Every day you still wake up you still go to work and you still talk to people but somewhere inside it feels like you’re just passing time and you say to yourself

“I just don’t care anymore” but here’s the truth i’s not that you don’t care that means you’re tired you ired from giving too much, feeling too much, trying too hard.

Why the Heart Shuts Down

When you stop caring, it’s not because you’re cold it’s because your heart has carried too much without rest you might have cared, deeply loved honestly and hoped fully

But got disappointed again and again and now your mind is protecting your heart by making you feel less because feeling less sometimes feels safer but in the long run, it also takes away your joy and your ligh And your sense of being fully alive

What Ancient Wisdom Teaches Us

In the Bhagavad Gita, when Arjuna stands frozen and lost then Lord Krishna does not say to stop feeling

He says

“युक्तः कर्मफलं त्यक्त्वा शान्तिमाप्नोति नैष्ठिकीम्”

Yuktah karmaphalam tyaktva shantim apnoti naishthikim

The one who lets go of attachment to results finds peace, krishna didn’t tell Arjuna to stop caring, he told him to stop carrying the weight of everything alone but you are not weak for feeling this way, you are human and your energy needs healing

Even Science Understands This

Modern psychology calls this emotional numbness it is a real thing happens when the mind and body are under stress for too long

In 2022 The World Health Organization said that long-term stress can cause people to feel emotionally distant from life it is not a sign of failure, It is a sign that you need to slow down and begin again from the inside

How to Feel Alive Again

Start with small thing like you don’t need to force happiness just you only need to start noticing yourself again such…

• Sit in silence
• Not to meditate
• Just to breathe and be
• Listen to music you used to love
• Go outside and look at the sky
• Let the sun touch your face
• Let your feet feel the ground
• Talk to someone without pretending
• Cry if you need to
• Or say nothing and just sit with someone who doesn’t ask you to be okay
• Let your emotions wake up slowly
• Like a flower opens after a long night
• Don’t rush
• Your heart knows how to heal
• It just needs space
