You Can Do This When You’re Feeling the Feelings You Don’t Know
It happens. It’s Life.
We feel something but don’t know why. This may lead to frustration and disappointment and low self-esteem.
I don’t know about you, but as a teenager, a million things keep going on in my mind—some real and some totally made up. You know what I mean, right?
What to do?
Look, I’m not an advisor. But lately, I was extremely distracted, not able to put my fingers to keyboard or pen to paper (write class notes).
I was about to write an article but I became so frustrated I deleted it altogether. Instead, I tried to write about my feeling. I was confused, and so is that article, but I can’t tell you how much it eased me. Those emotions were now less aggressive on me.
You can read that piece here:
Trust me, I’m not making it up. I felt it so I wrote.
When you feel anything that you think is weird, to say it broadly, document it or talk about it
- Write about it.
- Record yourself saying it all… raw.
- Talk to your friend, family or someone you trust or think will help you out (teachers or relatives, for instance).
- Self-talk. Stand in front of a mirror and speak to yourself. Ask yourself some open-ended questions and see if it helps.
Look, it might seem cliche but it’s super helpful. I experienced it today only. Choose any above option according to your comfort and circumstances and experience it for yourself.
