Feel Your Feelings!

Emotions are the responses that people have to things that happen or
circumstances. We go through a spectrum of emotions, including
happiness when we get good news, annoyance when we get hit in
traffic, and sadness when we lose something and so on. I want you to
think about the following emotions for a bit before we continue on
with the topic: Consider dividing it into positive and negative
feelings - Joy, annoyance, fascination curiosity, sadness, disgust,
rage, love, fear, and jealousy.
Even if we may argue that some feelings, such as envy,
frustration, anger, disgust, and sadness, are unpleasant or
undesirable, we cannot dispute that they exist and can be
somewhat helpful. However, experiencing these emotions
frequently and powerfully without being able to manage them
can be troublesome. Often, we are so preoccupied with our
work and routines that we never take the time to sneak inside
and understand how you are feeling. Many times, we feel
restless and are ignorant of what is happening, so we frequently
respond "I am fine" when questioned. Do we actually always
feel good, though? Which emotions are these? Are we
conscious of our specific feelings and the reasons behind them?
Perhaps you had a difficult day at work and made a few errors.
You feel bad about your self and have self doubts on your
capabilities. Find one or more emotions on the list that best
describe the feeling while keeping an eye on the wheel. You
may feel better in control of those feelings if you can express
those feelings verbally. Are you Sad, scared, embarrassed, or
angry? Consider yourself for a moment and consider whether
you're truly angry or genuinely sad  or feeling more
of   disappointed, annoyed or guilty.
You continuously and unconsciously experience emotions
because they are raw. Your feelings are unchangeable. What
you can alter is how you react to the sensations brought on by
your emotions. By addressing your emotions, increasing
awareness of them, and seeing how you behave while you're
feeling them, by keeping an eye on how you act when you're
furious, Do you yell or say inappropriate things then feel bad?
Dispute, frantically act, or withdraw socially and avoid
interacting with anyone.
We all smile at each other, but how many of us are sincere?
How often have you felt that someone cannot put themselves
in your place and comprehend what you are attempting to
explain? because no one else is capable of feeling what you are.
You may feel your emotions intensely, and in order to express
them to someone, you must first experience them yourself. You
don't have to force yourself to always be happy with a smile on
face. Recognizing that unpleasant emotions are a part of life
and managing them is equally important.
Let's take an example of a 500ml water bottle. The capacity of
the bottle is only 500 milliliters and if you fill it up beyond
capacity the water will eventually overflow. That's exactly what
an explosion of emotions does at the end. You burst out and at
times become cranky and frustrated. Sometimes you do
displacement defense mechanisms by projecting your anger on
someone else.
Self-reflection enables you to recognize the causes of your
feelings, moderate your response to them, and deal with the
triggers. This can entail altering your daily routine, engaging in
positive activities, sharing what has been happening with a
friend, or journaling about it. When you can recognize your
feelings for what they are and accept them as such, it might
sometimes be enough for you to go on.
Further are some coping strategies you can try when you are
feeling the following.
Feeling Sad :
 Take a hot bath.
 Curl up under a comforter with hot cocoa and a good
book.
 Hug a loved one or a stuffed animal.
 Play with a pet.

Feeling Angry:
 Scribble on a paper
 Color with crayons randomly and tear the paper into
pieces.

 Make clay models and smash them. Crank up some music
and dance.

Feeling like a Bad Person

 List as many good things about yourself as you can. Read
something good that someone has written about you.
 Talk to someone who cares about you.

you’ve done something good. Think about why you feel
guilty and how you might be able to change it.

you have came through out your life phases.
Wanting Focus:

Chew slowly, noticing how the texture and even the taste
of the candy change as you chew it.

then write as detailed a description of it as you can.
