How Do You Feel?

How do you feel right now?

Write down on a piece of paper. Or draw it. Express your feeling. Maybe dance it with movement.

And then ask yourself:  What can I do to feel better?

Do I want to insist on this feeling?  Do I need it?

How would I like to feel instead?  What emotion would make me feel better.

If you are sad, would you rather feel hope?

If you feel fear would you like to feel peace?

Move. Do some activity.

Find things you are grateful for. Write them down or think about them. Feel gratefulness. It can be hard to do this while there are so many negative emotions in you. You simply do not feel that you can be grateful in this situation. Dig deeper and you will find something. You can be grateful for everyday things like food, water, job, loved one that is with you, for your life … This will rise your spirit.

You will say that it is easy to give advices to somebody who is not in your shoes. It is true, you are right. Your story in unique. But you are here and reading this article. Your intention is to feel better, not to stay where you are.

If you will practice gratitude, some positivity will come into your life. And this will make space for new opportunities. For new solutions. For hope.

There are other methods that can help. Listen to music. Smile. Talk to others. Write about.

Dive into your feeling. Why is there?

Is it blocking you from activity? Can you move it? There is a quote that everything you want lies on the other side of fear. What is waiting for you on the other side of this emotion. What good is there for you?  What you should learn from this experience?

Do not try to control it.  Move it. How? With action. Do not lie around and feel sorry about yourself. This will not help. You will not feel better. Find help.  Talk to friend or therapist. Read a self-help book or article. Search until you will find something that will help you. There must be a way. Otherwise you will stay paralized in your fear or deep in your sadness.

Don’t deny your feeling. For you, it is real.

Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth. Benjamin Disraeli

Do things that you like. Cook. Read. Draw. Walk. This will bring love in your life. But where to find motivation when you emotionally down? It is desire to change the situation you are in. From this desire will come strength to do something. To change what have to be changed. To do positive things.
