In today’s society, there is so much pressure to perform. Kids have to perform in school, your boss expects you to perform at the office, and one has to perform in their business. Everyone expects so much from you that sometimes your life has an emotional roller coaster. How can you deal with it? What is it that you can do to ensure that you can give yourself emotional first aid?
Emotions, if not managed well, can lead to problems in later life. How far will you be able to travel in the journey if you keep on carrying the emotional baggage now and then? It is a question to ponder. Well, Kristina Mand-Lakhiani comes to your rescue. In her book, Becoming Flawesome, she takes us on a wonderful journey and gives us practical advice to manage our emotional distress. We will be discussing the same here in this blog.
The Stepwise Guide To Take Care Of Your Emotions
We learn so many things at our school. However, there is hardly any school that teaches us the most practical way to deal with our emotions. Therefore, if we see the society around us, people need a practical guide that can help them channel their emotional energy. So, you can follow this stepwise guide to manage your emotions.
- Aware: We are so busy running in that autopilot mode that we are unaware of what we are doing. How can we be aware of our emotions, then? Hence, the first step is always being aware of your presence. Be mindful!
- Acknowledge: Now, since we are mindful, we will observe the emotions we are going through. In this stage, most people will run away from that emotion. Will that ever heal you? Will you ever be able to resolve and channel it? Hence, acknowledging it is the most crucial step that you should take to resolve it. Do not suppress your emotions; just observe.
- Diagnose: Now that you have acknowledged your emotions, the next step that you should do is to diagnose them. What is your emotion telling you? Why are you feeling it? What is the root cause of that emotion? If you cannot find answers yourselves, you can always take professional assistance and help. Taking professional help can do wonders for you.
- Release: Release the baggage that you have been carrying with you. Why are you holding it? Whatever happened was past and had nothing to do with your present. Therefore, always ensure that you release those emotions before they burden you.
These are steps you can take to ensure you give yourself emotional first aid.
