What are some good techniques for emotional regulation? 💭🤔💬
I’m still learning to find balance and sometimes its a struggle, this is pretty much subjective to oneself and let’s hear it from your pov. 🤗 #life #universe #relationshipadvice #random #psychology #mentalhealth #writing

You can't control the emotions you already feel, but you can learn to understand them which will allow you better regulate the feelings you have in the future. One way to do this is journalling; simply write down your feelings (like as a bullet point list). Then ask yourself why you feel each of those feelings, let yourself think of the answers spontaneously and write them down even if you disagree with them (your subconscious might hold views that are blatantly irrational but will cause feelings nonetheless if you don't acknowledge them and leave them unaddressed). To each feeling, you will most likely produce a number of answers to why you feel that feeling. Now for the third step you address the reasons for the feelings. Is the reason irrational? Write down to yourself as if trying to convince that part of you why exactly it is irrational. Is it a rational reason? Then determine whether the reason is something you can control or whether it's an outside factor outside of your influence. If you can't help this reason, there's no reason to worry about it, conclude that it's out of your power. If you can do something about it, write down a plan what you're going to do about it. This way, you learn to understand yourself better and regulate how you feel, because one way or another, you address the root causes of your feelings to the best of your ability. At least, that's my experience. (edited)

100% agree with what Carl said. The key is accepting your emotions and knowing that they are neither good nor bad, they are simply tools to alert you that there's something underlying that needs to be addressed. In the moment I find taking a moment or moments to focus on breathing or getting some fresh air help immensely.

Mindfulness and meditation can help you become more aware of your thoughts and emotions, allowing you to observe them without judgment. By focusing on the present moment, you can reduce stress and anxiety. Deep breathing exercises can activate the body's relaxation response, helping to calm your nervous system. Techniques like diaphragmatic breathing or box breathing can be particularly helpful. Physical activity is a great way to release tension and improve your mood. Whether it's going for a walk, dancing, or playing a sport, find an activity that you enjoy and make it a regular part of your routine. Healthy lifestyle habits, such as eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and limiting your intake of alcohol and caffeine, can also contribute to emotional stability. Negative thoughts can spiral out of control and impact our emotions. Try to identify and challenge these thoughts, replacing them with more positive and realistic perspectives. Spending time with loved ones can provide emotional support and reduce feelings of loneliness. If you're struggling to manage your emotions on your own, consider seeking help from a therapist or counselor. They can provide you with tools and strategies to improve your emotional well-being. Be patient with yourself and celebrate your progress, no matter how small.

Let ur kid help u by bringing flowers (even though fake ones), to tell you to calm yourself/breathe, and to make u laugh when u are sad or frustrated...Like today mine was great when I was feeling a few strong emotions while spending an hour trying to figure out something that probably should have only taken under 20 minutes. It's cute and caring of my kid when she tries to help, unless of course she is the cause of my emotions or makes the situation worse. Or else a nice hug helps...I cuddle my dog and it makes me feel better. Unless of course, he farts then it's not great haha. Then there's alcohol to drown any sorrows too...unless there's no alcohol in the house haha. On a serious note, sometimes meditation or journalling helps others. Or chatting to a friend, or reading positive or funny things. Hope u are able to help regulate your emotions soon...Sometimes things get overwhelming and u just need to break things into smaller tasks and thoughts then it's easier to deal with or understand. Take care and be well! (edited)

I clearly told a guy I'm not looking for more than friends after he shared what he was looking for too, we agreed and proceeded to share other things. After I said that no one needs to reply back to someone they dont feel the same about after he mentioned about how people don't often reply to... (edited) read more

Sometimes some people paint you as the bad guy so they can dodge the guilt for how they treated you. Since it's easier for them to shift the blame than face their own mistakes.

What is one thing you despise a lot?
For me, it is people being taken advantage of. I don't like it when someone tries to take advantage of desperate people, people who can't stand for themselves, etc. When I see that, I ask them not to do the task for that person. If someone gets in trouble because you didn't do their work,... read more

Who would benefit the most if more people don't give birth?
I think corporations. You won't be asking too many holidays and would be devoted to them only either via learning new skills or giving more hours to work.

Dating platforms offer unprecedented freedom in choosing potential partners. However, this abundance of options can also lead to superficiality, where appearance and the first message take precedence over genuine connections.

"Someone is in town! Wait there, I'll pick you up!" "Are you hungry Miss?What do you want to eat?" "Let me check my wallet. Just making sure lolol" "So you want to pay for your own meals??
