For many individuals, emotions are a scary thing. What makes it even more difficult is the fact that we just do not know what to do with them. As such, we turn to the strategies we do know, such as distracting yourself by engaging in video games, drinking alcohol or tinkering with your tool. However, in an effort to forget such feeling, we end up addicted to other unhealthy behaviors. This article, therefore, takes you through personal guides and worksheets to manage addiction, chronic pain and emotional issues.
In an effort to manage your emotion, begin by decoding the emotions. The preliminary step is to identify what you are feeling; all emotions fall into one of these categories, sadness, anxiety, happiness and anger. With anxiety, your mind lights up with what is likely to happen. For example, what if you lose your job; you do not meet someone or fail a test.
To remain healthy, ensure to get enough rest daily. It is important to take good care of your body in order to have good emotional and mental health. This includes having enough sleep. It is worth noting here that most individuals need 7-8 hours of sleep each night for optimal functioning.
Also, be sure to talk about your addiction and feelings. Do not suppress your feelings or deny them. Acknowledge that you have a problem and deal with them directly. In addition, do not try to belittle your situation. Talking about the situation enables you to gain the willing support of other people.
In addition, ensure to get a dose of sunlight daily. Exposure to the sun lifts your mood and it is thus useful to get at least 10-15 minutes of sunlight daily. You can achieve this while exercising, socializing or gardening. Also, create some time for appreciation and contemplation. Consider the things you are grateful for. Pray, meditate, enjoy the sunset and take a moment to pay attention to what is positive, good and beautiful as you go about your day.
Limit alcohol and stay away from cigarettes and other substance abuse. These are stimulants which may, in the short run, unnaturally make you feel good, but have long-term negative impacts for mood and emotional health.
Remember not to react emotionally to emotional outbursts. Instead, acknowledge the outburst by active listening- that demonstrates you understand the power of the feelings of the speaker. Reacting emotionally yourself will only heighten the emotions and conflict as a whole. In case you are experiencing trouble staying calm, leave the room temporarily. Leaving the scene will provide you with the chance to calm down and think. This in turn will enable you to plan an effective response, as opposed to reacting automatically that often makes the situation worse.
Moreover, change the spots you visit oftentimes, who you hang out with and what you accomplish for entertainment only. Where a machine happens to be a threat, expel the supplies from the house. The best method for ending the propensity is not to have admittance to it.
