In time, these sorts of emotions can grow like weeds, slowly conditioning the mind to function on detrimental feelings and dominating daily life.]]> 2018-02-06 18:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/memaldonado18/balg2zexv38v/wish/228784056 Healthy Outlets memaldonado18 https://padlet.com/memaldonado18/balg2zexv38v/wish/228786300 Emotions should never be bottled up.
Call or go see someone you trust and recount to them what happened. Hearing an opinion other than your own broadens your awareness.
Many people find it helpful to engage in aggressive exercises, such as kickboxing or martial arts, to discharge their feelings. Others meditate and chant to return to a tranquil state of being.
Perform whatever activity is best-suited to you in order to liberate your being from pent-up sentiments.

  • Anxiety often takes the shape of “what if” questions. What if they don’t like me? What if I’m not accepted? Etc.
  • Sadness tends to happen when we focus on things we cannot change such as death or loss.
  • Anger is the response after being attacked, such as our values.
  • Happiness is positive thought often around a gain, such as a compliment from a friend or a reward like a promotion at work.
