400;">Believe in the power of your emotions.</span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Being emotional is not inherently bad— you’re feeling everything for a reason. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Approach your emotional stress with love and gentle acknowledgement. Never punish yourself for feeling what you feel. Life gets simpler the more you love and fully understand yourself. </span></p> <p>Here are 3 ways to manage emotional stress.</p> <h4>1. Find the root cause of your negative emotions.</h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> negative emotions</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> have no rhyme or reason, and that’s why finding good solutions can feel so murky and confusing at times. But more often than not, the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">negativity</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in our lives is directly correlated to something </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">we have the power to change</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Building the self-awareness needed to understand what’s causing your pain is the first step to finding greater peace. Sift through your </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">emotions</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and reflect. Write down what’s bothering you. Determine what you have the power to change and what you need to further reconsider. Take whatever action you feel moved to create.</span></p> <h4> 2. Make a list of things that bring you joy. Chase them.</h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What makes you feel good? What immediately makes all the </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">stress</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and worry leave your body? Surround yourself with these things. Choose people, places, and activities that replenish your happiness. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We invest plenty of time in worrying and </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">stressing</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> over things that don’t matter. Choose to spend more of your precious time chasing joy, in both big and small ways. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All kinds of joy matter. Choose to enjoy yourself. Chase goodness. Joy transforms everything.</span></p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-797" src="http://jayshettygenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/emotional-stress-02-1-1024x534.jpg" alt="Writing a list of things that bring you joy" width="1024" height="534" srcset="https://jayshettygenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/emotional-stress-02-1-1024x534.jpg 1024w, https://jayshettygenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/emotional-stress-02-1.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <h4>3. Be gentle with yourself for feeling what you feel.</h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Negative emotions</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are not inherently bad. And the fact that you feel them is normal. You know what would be abnormal? If you felt good all the time, always, no matter what. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Experiencing lows is an important part of being human. The roadblocks are in place to teach us priceless lessons. We push our hearts through the muck to discover precious information about ourselves on the other side. We learn how to scrape ourselves up from beneath the dirt to stand up straight and tall again. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Negative emotions</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, as painful as they may be, serve an imperative purpose in our lives. Where would we be today without the stress and hardship? You can’t have diamonds without pressure. As with any skill, practice makes perfect, and the more you intentionally try to manage your emotional stress, the better you’ll get at it. </span></p> <p><a href="https://jayshettygenius.com/areas-of-well-being/health/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-988 size-medium lazyload" data-src="http://jayshettygenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/blog-health-01-1024x256.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="256" data-srcset="https://jayshettygenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/blog-health-01-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https://jayshettygenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/blog-health-01.jpg 1200w" data-sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" style="--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px;
