The best strategy I use to cope with negative feelings? I will tell you that in a while. But, here I am attempting these Prompts again.
While looking for the prompt, I could not find anything relevant. This prompt has nothing to do with FGW. But that’s where people underestimate me.
I can make any topic work the way I want, and if I cannot, then I am not a good blogger.
This prompt is decent, but the responses to this were funny, so I aim to put a decent post under this prompt. You know the reason why I do these prompts, so no need to repeat that.
What are negative feelings?
When we think what negative feelings are, then we talking about several feelings. Like anger, guilt, shame, fear, sadness, anxiety, loneliness, etc.
Now, I need not to define each of them, but we are human and we can feel a lot of things and no-one knows what and when we will feel any of these.
Interestingly, different people may feel differently in different situation, for example, if something makes you sad, it could make others angry, or it could even scare others. You never know what to expect from anything or anyone.
Hey, funny thing is we humans can make others feel these things. We sometimes wish for superpowers, but we have these powers and a misuse of these powers can make others feel negatively.
People won’t behave, but we certainly need strategies or things so that we can use to cope up with these negative feelings.
How to avoid negative feelings
I am a human and I too have feelings. I can have mood swings and I can feel things which are not in my control. I mean, I could say that negative feelings are bad and we should not be angry or sad. But, I won’t be selling you some Self-help book like BS.
Negative feelings are part of the life, we cannot avoid them. If someone is telling you to do this and that, you can try that. You can subside those negative feelings, but you cannot completely leave them.
Even monks are capable of feeling scared, anxious, angry, but they are also capable of not let those negative feelings ruin their day.
We need to first accept that we are angry, sad, or anxious. We should not ignore them. If there’s something that is making you uncomfortable, do something about it. But, don’t expect those feelings to go automatically.
If a person is continuously making you angry or sad, then deal with the person. Even after dealing with them, if it doesn’t change, then you don’t need that person in life.
Similarly, if a place is making you anxious or you are having negative feelings about it. Identify why you feel that way. If it’s something you can fix, then do it. Else, stay away from that place.
You don’t need to accept the situation and leave it as it, because if you do so, you feel keep feeling negative.
How I handle negative feelings
I don’t know why you are interested in reading what I do? I am human; I have negative feelings and they often disturb me a lot.
If a person is the reason for negative feelings, I don’t deal with them. I rather ignore them. For example, if there’s someone who is annoying to me, I start ignoring them. I don’t want them in life and I don’t want to give them freedom to ruin my peace.
In the past, a lot of people made me sad, but the sad part of it, I allowed them to do so. I gave them the ability to do so and for them it was easy to make me sad. Funny thing is, it almost happened again, but this time, I was ready, because I considered myself above from that.
In tough times, books, sleep, workout and food help me a lot.
These are some best way to deal with negative feelings, although it’s not necessary that these will always work. These can help you manage some level of stress, but these don’t guarantee anything.
Music could also help from negative feelings, but we need to remember that these things will reduce the intensity of the negative feelings, but will not completely erase them.
You have to live with negative feelings like I do, but you need to make sure to not let them overrule your life.
Conclusion
We need to understand that negative feelings are part of life. People, places, things can make us feel negative about it. If those feelings are too much, then talking to a professional could be helpful.
Finding the root cause of those negative feelings could help us understand several things. Also, don’t judge yourself. No matter what these gurus are telling you, there’s nothing wrong with having negative feelings.
With that, I end this prompt. I hope WP gives something more based on health and wellness.
