Tips To Get Through Painful Emotions

By Johnny K. Peterson


We all live because of our emotions. Sometimes we feel happiness while at other times we feel pain. There are a lot of emotions that we have to deal with everyday and it is in these emotions that we tend to live each day right. Yet, for some reason, there are instances that we feel pain all the time. You begin to ask yourself how can I get through such pain and what can I do to get out? Here are some of the things you can do.

Emotions are true and there is no cure for it. Sometimes, people think that downing a bottle of vodka can help numb the pain but it will only be for a couple of hours. There is no real cure for emotional pain. It is much better that you open your eyes and realize that it is real.

List down the things that you are thankful for and this should include the hardships as well as the pain you are feeling right now. Be thankful and learn to appreciate life as well as pain as it is a full circle. We all feel pain and yet it is in that pain that we tend to become stronger.

As much as possible, learn to determine which emotions you are feeling. Do you feel sad about losing your pet dog or are you happy because you have your new car. Be more in tune to your emotions and you will be surprised at how you are very well self-aware.

Painful emotions cannot be cured and what you cannot cure, you will have to endure. There is no cure for emotional pain, only time. And the only way to do it is to endure the pain that someone has caused you and you will learn to live with it.

When it feels like you are about to give in to your emotions, grab the phone and have your friend or family over and talk to them. They will be able to give you advise on how you can deal with the pain and will always be there to help you go through such pain.

Stay away from blaming others or yourself from the pain you are feeling. Blaming will only makes matters worse and in fact, it will cause more problems with your relationship towards others. No one should be blamed for your pain not even yourself.

Lastly, never allow yourself to be controlled by your painful emotions. People with a painful past will most likely know that their emotions are taking over when they start to breakdown everytime they remember such experience. Do not allow yourself to be that person.
