It’s always a juggling act trying to reduce the amount of negative emotions, we take in each day. It’s also a juggling act trying to avoid being influenced by other people’s emotions.
I continue to practice the following:
The worst thing you can do is hold on to your emotions. If something is bothering you, you need to say what it is regardless of the outcome. It's the biggest reason why we hold back.
For every situation you find ourselves in, there will always be opportunities that you're not aware of that will help you manage your emotions. You should use those opportunities as a stepping stone to help with our emotions, turning them into positive ones.
Good suggestions. I used to be very emotional and I let everyone know, but I tend to hold them in now. I really only have one person that I can talk to and that's online.
I don't have anyone that I can really talk to face to face, so I keep things in a lot. I used to talk to my daughter every day but she moved away and I know I can talk to her via phone but it's not the same.
Thanks Lisa.
It's lovely when there is someone you can relate to enough to say what you feel. I generally write things down, or if I have an problem and I know who it's with, I tend to speak out and although that in itself isn't easy to do, it does mean the air is cleared, which helps emotionally.
If I have a problem with my children I'll talk the problem through with them, but they generally don't get to know what I deal with, unless it involves another family member, which they need to know about.
They'll have time enough to have to deal with issues of their own in their lifetime, without me talking to them about things.
Excellent ideas here today. Great blog.
Thanks Randy. Glad you like it.
