@ingrid.jennison: when you’re quick to emotionally react, step back and try these instead: - what sparked this emotion? - can I remember a time in my life that I have felt this way before? - how would I like to react, if there were no consequences? - with consequences in mind, does reacting this way feel meaningful? - how could I express my emotions in a way that is meaningful and beneficial to my growth? go into detail when contemplating the details of these emotions. the more time a focus you give yourself, the more you’ll equip yourself with the tools to react in a genuine and healthy way. #psychology #healing #selfawareness
