I have struggled with it for a long time. Now, I treat anger like an outside element that tries to enter my system.
COPING WITH ANGER
When I see small sparks of anger within, I ask my heart and mind to remain quiet and utilize this quietness to pacify any form of anger outburst.
There are constant triggers of stress and anxiety around us. Example - tight project deadlines at work.
COPING WITH FEAR
I love to believe fear and faith in Higher Power are inversely proportional to each other. As my faith grows, fear/anxiety goes down.
I had this habit to think and rethink about the worst-case scenario first at every crossroad of life.
COPING WITH SELF DOUBT.
Now, I train my brain not to imagine the worst and thus self-doubt does not get a chance to crop up.
Before we make up our mind to take a tough decision, conflicts of opposing emotions are quite common.
COPING WITH EMOTIONAL CONFLICT
Reflective journal writing helps me to overcome emotional conflict. I reflect upon my thoughts to simplify a complex issue and take the right decision.
These simple tricks to cope with difficult emotions bring me a lot of relief. Hope it works for you as well.
