Make room for your emotions

Emotions are not good or bad, they are just emotions. One can validate the emotions and accept them. A good way is to write down on a piece of paper what all you feel and then reflect on the same.

Whatever the urge is when we feel angry, depressed, or sad,...

Not every new or different thing is a threat to our survival. This negativity bias can chip away at our confidence. To combat the negativity bias:

• Come up with 5 positive thoughts to counter every negative thought.
• Let every positive thought sit for 20 seconds.

Negative emotions are uncomfortable, but they aren’t a sign of weakness or low emotional intelligence and ignoring them can increase emotional pain. Exploring and understanding their purpose, we can learn ways to respond which supports our emotional growth and sense of well-being.
