Know how you really feel
First of all, Do you really know how you feel? Sure you know that you feel upset. But what emotions specifically are you feeling?
- Are you feeling angry? If so, what type of anger—frustrated, mad, irritated?
- Or maybe you’re feeling hurt… But what type of hurt? Do you feel sad or disappointed? Regretful or ashamed?
- Or maybe—and much more likely—you’re feeling some combination of emotions… Mostly disappointed, but also a bit mad and anxious as well.
