What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
The first thing I do is try and recognize the negative feelings I am having and finding out the root cause. Nothing can be fixed or coped with until we know where it’s coming from.
When negative feeling come my way I consider my past experiences and practice self awareness, mindfulness, and reframing techniques Ive learned to cope with such feelings.
Understanding the traumatic events, and unresolved conflicts or negative experiences in past. And then focus on positive and realistic alternatives for a more positive mindset and practicing self compassion.
Paying attention to when I am experiencing negative feelings and what situations ot trigger seem to bring them on.
By questioning if the feeling is accurate or based on overthinking the situation or if it an over generalization. And then gather evidence to support my feeling or refute the negative feeling and see if there is a more balanced perspective.
Then replace the negative feeling with a positive one. And then focus on something positive.
