dealing with your emotions can be a lot especially when you are doing this alone without the help a therapist. emotional intelligence is a good way to live a healthy lifestyle. your emotions simply have a lot to contribute to your everyday life. Here are few ways you can help yourself live a better life

  1. Suppress, deny, or avoid: This is when you bottle up or run away from emotions. This never works long-term because you waste time running away (cue Netflix and takeout binges) and the emotions ALWAYS come back – sometimes stronger than before.
  2. Get overwhelmed and act out: This is when you act out your emotions, like snapping at your best friend or drinking your way into a hangover the next morning to put out the emotional fire. In this way, emotions run your life.
  3. Accept them as part of life: By accepting them, they’re less intense and pass more quickly. Actually, emotions are unavoidable and make life worth living, because they also include joy and love! (One of the things I teach my clients is that uncomfortable emotions are actually important messages from your body, and how to use them to your advantage
  4. Breathe in slowly. Deep breaths come from the diaphragm, not the chest. It may help to visualize your breath rising from deep in your belly.
