Feeling is the perceived response that determines the meaning of an emotion. Sometimes the feeling seems so intense that people find different coping methods such as watching TV for long hours, going shopping or gambling. These approaches can lead to undesirable consequences like debt, addiction and poor health. This only worsens the feeling of yourself, creating a vicious circle. This article will show you practical steps to cope with your feelings.

Steps

Part 1 of 4: Feeling your feelings

1. 

   Realize that feeling is the validation of the inner world. They are the result of how you think about the world around you. A positive feeling is what makes you ‘feel good’ and a negative feeling is what makes you ‘feel bad’, we don't know the 'right' or 'wrong' style. Negative and positive feelings are common in human experience. Allowing yourself to feel real feelings puts you in a better position to change any sensory-related situation.
   • Feelings help us to identify needs. For example, the feeling of fear that comes up is a warning of threat to our existence. Fear means that there is a difference between life and death long ago. Being aware of our feelings even when we are not enjoying them also helps us to manage them more easily.

2. 

   
   
   Deep breath. Breathing exercises help you calm down, manage your emotions, gain control, and connect with your body better. You can only process your emotions when you are truly calm. Try the following breathing exercises. Place your hands on your stomach and breathe in through your nose, counting to 5. Feel your stomach rise as you inhale. Exhale through your mouth, count to 5. Feel your stomach go down as you exhale.

3. 

   
   
   Pay attention to how it feels. Where is it in your body? How fierce is it? How is your breath Your posture? Is it getting stronger or weaker? Focus on the different parts of your body that are affected by your emotions. Pay attention to your heart rate, abdomen, temperature, limbs, muscles, or skin sensation.

4. 

   
   
   Name your feelings. What is the best word to describe it? Angry? Guilty? Concerned? Sad? Fear? For example, anger makes you feel hot, stimulates impulses in your body and increases your heart rate. Anxiety makes you breathe faster, increases your heart rate, can sweat your hands and feet, and tighten your chest.
   • Sometimes there are many feelings at the same time. Try to be aware of all the feelings you experience.

5. 

   Accept the feeling. Let it pass without judging, resisting or opposing it. Allow it to happen as this is the body's natural response. If you notice any thought or judgment about a sensation, keep an eye on it and then turn your attention and physical sensations on your body.
   • Sometimes this is enough for you to deal with your feelings. It takes a lot of mental effort to ignore this feeling of avoidance and to stop it. In fact, doing so only makes the feeling more pronounced and lasts longer. Accept and not be afraid of your own feelings, clearing your mind to cope with the situations that cause these feelings.

Part 2 of 4: Handling sensations

1. 

   Take 15 minutes to write about your feelings. Write about situations that cause your emotions to surge. What happened? What someone said? Why is this important to you? Identify and name feelings. Don't edit or hide anything, don't worry about spelling, grammar or sentence structure. Just be honest with yourself and write everything down.
   • The more honest you are, the more likely you are to reduce the severity of the sensation.
   • This will help you stop thinking and give you an objective view of the situation.

2. 

   Find a habit of thinking negatively. Often times, negative thinking has become a habit and we believe those thoughts to be true. Try and see what percentage of the things you write are based on facts, how much is based on personal opinion. The way you think shapes the way you feel is a core premise of cognitive behavioral therapy. This exercise helps you cope with your thoughts in order to process your feelings.
   • Writing your thoughts on paper makes it easier to spot your mistakes.

3. 

   Write a response to a close friend. We often judge and criticize ourselves while not judging others. Be kind and think the logical arguments and reactions you wrote down. Be realistic and give appropriate advice.
   • If you don't like to write, you can record it (talk in about 10 minutes). Listen to the recording when finished. When listening, pay attention to thoughts that are not helpful. Repeat the above procedure 3 times.

4. 

   Read your feedback again. After finishing writing, read it once. Go to bed and read again the next morning. Now try something that makes you feel relaxed or a hobby that makes you happy. Time will help you overcome your emotions and gain a new perspective.
   • Ideally, you should keep your notes where others can't find them. When you know that your thoughts will be kept secret, you will be more honest with yourself.

Part 3 of 4: Handling feelings with someone you trust

1. 

   Find someone you trust and love to talk to. Tell this person you want to confidently discuss something with them. It is easier to share your problems with someone you love. Ask them if this is the right time to talk. If the person is busy or stressed, they can't help you. If possible, choose someone who has been through a situation like yours. They will understand your current position and empathize.

2. 

   Tell the person how you feel. Tell your feelings about what happened to make your emotions surge. Let them know why this is important to you. Say everything you are thinking about and want to let go of. Just saying how you feel is cleansing and beneficial to your physical health.

3. 

   Ask you confidently comments on this topic. In response to your story, the other person will share their personal experiences and help you understand that this can happen to anyone as well. They can give you a new perspective that you never thought of before

Part 4 of 4: Dealing with the origin of sensations

1. 

   Deal with negative thoughts. Think carefully about the sensation level. Now that you need to process feelings and observe the situation from every angle, is there any other way to explain what happened? Have your feelings changed from the moment you started processing them? Feelings change when thinking changes.

2. 

   Consider what you can do to change the situation. Make a list of things you can do to change the situation you are in. Consider the consequences, the effort required or whether you should seek help from someone else. Your actions depend on the individual involved and the relationships between the two parties (family, lover, friends, acquaintances, co-workers, superiors) so think about what is appropriate for your situation. Dear.

3. 

   Act. Do what you can to change the situation. If you are responsible, be honest and responsible for your actions. Sincerely apologize for the mistakes you made and try to make up for it. Understanding that you've done your best is an important part of letting go of your current feelings.

4. 

   Close this stage of life. Whatever the reason, if your efforts to resolve the situation are ineffective or come to an agreement with stakeholders (for example, they die or cut off contact with you) close enough to get through it all. Knowing you did your best is what you can learn from the situation. Remember that lesson.

5. 

   Talk to an expert. Sometimes it can be difficult to find the source of the feeling. An expert can help you spot the causes of your problems and learn to deal with them effectively.
   • You can consult online to find trained professionals near where you live. You can get referrals from your doctor.
   • We often have the misconception that the problem must be very serious to seek specialists. In fact, a professional can help you identify unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving in everyday life and learn to live a stable and full of love life.
