Healthy Perspectives On Emotions
• There is a difference between having an emotion and doing something or acting on the emotion.
• Emotions are not facts. When emotions are very powerful, they feel just like “the truth”.
• Emotions are neither good or bad, right or wrong. Feelings just ARE. They exist. It is not helpful to judge your emotions.
• You cannot get rid of emotions because they serve important survival functions. Be willing to radically accept your emotions as they arise.
• When a strong emotion comes, you do not have to act on your feeling. All you need to do is recognize the emotion and feel it.
• Emotions don’t last forever. No matter what you’re feeling, eventually, it will lift and another emotion will take it’s place.
