5 Practical Steps to Transform Negative Emotions
Essential lessons to shift your mindset and overcome negative emotions from ‘Good Vibes, Good Life’ by Vex King.
If we pay attention to our emotions, we can see the true nature of our vibration and therefore what we’re attracting into our life.
Step 1: Identify Your Emotion
First things first, you have to know what you’re feeling.
If you’re happy, sad, or somewhere in between — identify that emotion.
Step 2: Challenge Your Thoughts
Now, question yourself.
Why do you feel the way you do?
What thoughts are causing these feelings?
Sometimes, our beliefs are just based on exaggerations or opinions thrown at us.
Challenge those thoughts and question their validity.
Step 3: Understand the Deeper Meaning
This step is all about digging a bit deeper.
Understand the deeper meaning behind your feelings. Use them as opportunities to grow and learn more about yourself.
Step 4: Replace Destructive Thoughts
Ask yourself, “How can I view or do things differently to feel better and live a greater life?” Transform those negative thoughts into positive ones.
Remember, we create our sadness by attaching negative conclusions to past experiences.
Step 5: Visualize Handling Emotions
Imagine yourself handling the emotion you’re feeling, but in the future.
Repetition is key here.
By practicing how to handle that emotion repeatedly, you’ll gain the knowledge and skill to effectively manage it the next time it shows up in your life.
The more you count your blessings, the more blessings you’ll have to count.
