Techniques For Emotional Relief

We cannot deny it, sometimes we avoid emotional release. It’s easier to shut up and turn your face away. Or simply, trying to turn the page by clinging tightly to everyday life to try to forget. To try not to think.

But emotions don’t just dissolve like smoke escaping through an open window. Emotions build up and hurt us silently. They become internal specters capable of damaging our body and mind, shapeless specters defined through our experiences, our failures, disappointments or losses. No one is free from its influence.

Recognizing and dealing with them is an adequate way of assuming our own inner reality to take care of our emotional health, essential without a doubt for our balance and personal integrity .

But what steps do you have to take? We explain how to get that emotional relief.

1. Be aware of your emotions

Is not easy. Sometimes sadness is camouflaged with rage or anger. We may have before us people who show marked contempt or defiant behavior.

It is possible that under this slightly aggressive shell is nothing but sadness, regret for having lost something or someone, frustration at failure or loneliness. We must go layer by layer, delving into ourselves to get to the center of our own emotions. How I feel? Is it hate, is it bitterness? What is behind these feelings?

2. Mind emptied

The emptying of the mind is nothing more than going down the ladder of our inner world, of our emotions, for this we can follow the following steps:

• What makes me angry or  infuriated ? And what saddens me or prevents me from feeling well right now?
• Try to reason in the first person : I feel, it hurts me that, I don’t want it to …
• Next, think about how you would like to be tomorrow. Make an effort thinking about your future. What could you do today to achieve that peace of mind you crave? How could you get it? What can you do right now to achieve it?

3. Express your emotions

Emotions can be channeled in many ways. Crying is always appropriate. Also looking for a moment of needy solitude where to be with oneself and reorganize our thoughts, think about our needs.

When looking for emotional relief, do not avoid seeking personal support from a family member or friend. Always look for people you know will listen and understand you.  Putting your words out loud is always therapeutic and you can find options that you did not think about or that you did not consider.

4. Personal value in emotional relief

To face your own fears you need courage. Not everyone can – or knows – assume their emotional and personal obligations to move forward, to achieve their own happiness and also that of the people around them.

Sometimes it is easier to take advantage of the emergency exit, the one where you run away without looking back to escape from what immobilizes you. They prefer not to admit, not think, not talk about what hurts, bothers or prevents them from being happy and living in harmony.

Emotional integrity requires that we gradually free ourselves of all those weights that make our character and our body sick. It is enough to look for a moment for ourselves and delve into the inner map that we all have. You have to look for nooks and crannies, trunks where anger, frustration hides … face them and reach the edge of tranquility and emotional relief.
