Feeling sad, try this method!

in #emotions7 years ago (edited)

The types of emotions that we feel:

Love, happiness, fear, anger, sadness, shame, jealousy, disgust. 

(Frustration, irritability, or hostility would fall under anger. 

Defeat, loneliness, or hurt would fall under sadness.)

Whenever we encounter uncomfortable feelings, we try to push them away. But the best medicine is to experience them fully.

Whenever emotions catch you, give it a minute and a half, (90 seconds)

If you feel the emotion, get involved in the thought that generated it by repeating

"I feel (angry, sad),,etc.

Don't say, "I am ........"

Stop thinking what made you upset. Just feel the feeling and let it go. 

Or to be more generalized, you can practice mindfulness mediation, which I shall be discussing in next post.
