4 Tips to Deal with Strong Emotions
Manage episode 344609793 series 2864262
I’ve been dealing with some major burnout and strong emotions lately, so I thought I’d share a quote from a book I read recently which really resonated about how to deal with and process strong emotions.
Awesome Quote
“Acknowledge your emotions. All of them. Even the ugly and scary ones. Resisting them only lets them build up and makes them harder to deal with. Don’t be ashamed of your strong emotions. Give them a voice. If it’s not safe to express to people, write them out. Vent them on the page. If you don’t have time to express them, take a minute to admit them to yourself. And when you have the time, give them that voice and that time. You owe it to yourself to have every emotion you feel.”
—Full Rigged, by Rebecca Connolly, Sophia Summers, and Heather B. Moore
Tips to Deal with Strong Emotions
Baseline Hack: Acknowledge ALL Emotions—don’t bottle them up inside (it only makes it worse).
Talk it Out to Someone You Trust
- friend, family member, accountability group
Vent Them Through Writing
- write or journal about the feelings or emotions
Admit Them to Yourself & God
- Personal story about me being angry and having to talk to God to get the emotion out.
- Jeremiah 33:3 - Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Take Time to Process All Emotions
- Not always fine
- Be patient with yourself as you process all your emotions.
