Embrace Feelings, Regain Control
Practicing mindfulness is essential for managing unhelpful or negative feelings. Acknowledge and accept these feelings instead of ignoring or berating yourself for having them. Establish psychological distance by recognizing that you are separate from your emotions, allowing for observation without attachment. When experiencing negative emotions like anxiety, remind yourself that you and the emotion are distinct and that it is normal to feel this way. By imagining yourself as an observer, you can validate your feelings and reduce their overwhelming nature. Identifying and allowing your mind and body to express these emotions can help restore a sense of agency and control in challenging situations.
