Ever feel like you’re on an emotional roller coaster? Life can bring on a variety of emotions, both positive and negative, that range in intensity from mild to severe. Either you get a hold on them or they will have it on their way.
Today we have 5 strategies to keep your emotions in check and deal with them.
Accept your emotions
Do not set aside your emotions or try to elude them. Emotions come as they are so ty accept them as they come. Rather than ignoring emotional states why not experience them to know more about yourself to connect within. Accepting emotions as they come to enables you to get comfortable with them. Getting along with emotions and binding comfort around intense emotions allows you to feel them properly without reacting in excessive, ineffective, and unjust ways.
Count to ten
Our emotions are our most underrated enemies? Why? Let me tell you, we know emotions are very powerful, and sometimes actually most of the time it’s harder to get ahold of our emotions. Nobody knows when and how they will appear just like a random Déjà vu. SO whenever any type of emotional feeling or thought comes through your mind handle it. How? I have got the solutions too. Here it is firstly don’t get emotionally charged with situations, step back, close your eyes and then count to 10 before you say or do anything. This way our whole system gets time to think, calm down, assess the situation, and consider the possible positive and negative consequences of your reactions and comments.
Let it out
You can’t always have your emotions revolving within your head. This way your mental peace, relationships, as well as personal and professional life may get hampered. Emotions need to vent out rather than bottled up those feelings of sadness or anger let people know if something’s bothering you. In case you are unable to say anything to anyone’s face then go just write them on a blank page no matter if it’ gets delivered or not, main thing is to let your emotions out.
Self-Care
The war of emotion within yourself is often difficult. As emotions, they don’t play a fair game. So one must be prepared for any battle coming. It always happens like when you’re sad you become sadder for no good reason, and this is how emotions attack when you’re most vulnerable. So always make sure you’re okay and taking self-care which is most important in every sphere of our life. From basic needs like food, water, sleep, and exercise to mental stability, happiness, satisfaction, and peace you need to keep checking on yourself. It will allow you to sleep, eat better also to stay calm, peaceful, fulfilled, and fit.
Practice mindfulness
An amazing art to be adapted to daily life. Practicing mindfulness and being non-judgmental has always been on my life awareness list. This can be done more easily than you might think. Let your mind and body be fresh and align in the same direction. Taking five to ten minutes daily to notice what your body and mind feel like will help you understand your emotional habits. Throughout the whole meditation process, pay close attention to any emotions that may arise and see how your instinct tells you to respond. Asking questions thyself is always a great way of becoming greater.
