Ways to Help you Through Intense Feelings
Hi !
Throughout your life you probably experienced periods of time where your feelings and emotions are powerful.
You likely wish they would go away because it becomes too much.
the tightness in your throat you feel before you cry
the sensation of being weighed down by sadness
the rage you feel when you feel you've been wronged by someone
It's natural to want to avoid them with:
alcohol
becoming busier
blaming another in order to change the feeling of sadness, guilt, shame into anger
There are better and more conscious ways to "deal with" even the most uncomfortable emotions:
1) Take care of your body- when under stress, your organs are in overdrive.
Now is not the time to add more with alcohol, processed foods, etc.
Drink plenty of water in order to flush out what you are letting go of, physically and emotionally.
2) Get out into nature- the frequency of the trees, water, flowers, etc. is extremely high and you will feel their energy being around them.
3) Meditate- it's amazing what happens when you slow down, close your eyes, and focus on your breathing.
If you don't have a meditation practice, start with 5 minutes and work your way up to 20 or more daily and twice per day preferably.
4) Remember the inside/our reality- nobody makes you angry, sad, frustrated, etc.
You are completely responsible for your experience.
Remembering this keeps you out of victimization and then you hold onto your power instead of give it away.
Yes, people say and do things and you react.
When they do or say things that are unkind, try to see them coming from their own wounded past and it has nothing to do with you.
I know that can be difficult to do/believe but it's possible and true.
You are only ever experiencing your thinking in the moment.
Any triggers are just opportunities for you to heal something inside you.
Those closest to you will bring up the most triggers for you to work through and I know it can be tough sometimes to see what really needs to be healed.
5) That brings me to- use your support system
Call a close friend who can give you support you need, but remember to stay away from victimization.
Keep the focus on you.
Of course, a good therapist or awesome Transformative Life Coach can be an amazing support for you as well and can help you dig deeper and work through what needs to be healed.
