Emo IQ and my Top Song Crushes Part I


Listening to great music always helps my anxiety. It is a big part of my life and I wanted to share a few of them with you. Also, I'm going to touch on a life lesson I learned again and again. That lesson is called accepting feelings. When I relax and think about what is going on in my body I can figure out what I need.Then I follow the path of the feeling I am having. I ask myself why am I so sad or angry, happy and glad? Usually, I can see in my mind the person or thing that I'm feeling big feelings around. I get to that place of recognizing what it is I'm telling myself about these frustrations and then change my self-talk. It gets easier the more feeling words I have to use. Today I'm going to share a few emotions I am not as acquainted with for fun. I'm going to try and use it in a sentence that I could possibly say someday. NLM

Feeling Word: Rapture
We are all apart of rapture.

 Step 1: Identify the Emotion http://bit.ly/2ozJwUN
Learning to notice and identify your feelings takes practice. In addition to focusing on your feelings, check in with your body, too. You may feel body sensations with certain emotions — perhaps your face gets hot, for example, or your muscles tense.

Feeling Word: Awe
We stood there each in awe of what we saw inside each other.
Be aware of how you feel. When you have a negative emotion, such as anger, try to name what you're feeling.
Don't hide how you feel from yourself. You might not want to broadcast your feelings to other people. But don't suppress your feelings entirely. Simply naming the feeling is a lot better than pretending not to have it — or exploding without thinking.

 Awakening Mindfulness:
Putting Negative Self Talk to Sleep
By Jacqueline Plonkey
Insomnia. I hate insomnia. Those nights where something or maybe even nothing, nothing I can recall, anyhow, wake me up from my happiest place, blissful sleep. I was lucky enough to catch one of my best friend, a fellow insomnia sufferer, awake at 4 a.m. the other night and we ended up talking about the way our mind can sometimes seem to be operated at some distant outpost from ourselves. The old “it's like it had a “mind of its own” adage. Specifically, we discussed the mind and self-judgment. Not the positive type like “wow, I am awesome” kind of judgment either. More like the kind of ruminating inner critic that can cause that damn insomnia. No doubt David Bowie knew a little something about this expressed by his lyrics for Space Oddity:  “Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?”.  Thankfully, as with insomnia, there are ways we can learn new patterns of behavior and gain back mind control.  We can learn skills for when something like negative self-talk starts to take our mind off floating to outer space and we become inundated with these judgments. and take over our minds.
There are times when that inner critic of ours, crosses the threshold from healthy self-awareness to destructive self-warfare. When this happens I have learned to reach into my arsenal bag and battle back with the various techniques I have learned. The most valuable, like many lessons learned in life, I have found to be the most difficult to grasp the concept of, but the rewards from practicing have yielded the most beneficial results. Non-judgmental awareness, or mindfulness. To be Continued






Know why you feel the way you do. Figure out what happened that got you feeling the way you do.
Don't blame. Being able to recognize and explain your emotions isn't the same as blaming someone or something for the way you feel. Your ex probably isn't seeing someone new as a way to get back at you, and the guy who takes credit for your work might not even realize what he is doing. How you feel when these things happen comes from inside you. Your feelings are there for a reason — to help you make sense of what's going on.

Feeling Word: Cold
He thought she was being cold towards him but didn't want to know.
Accept all your emotions as natural and understandable.Don't judge yourself for the emotions you feel. It's normal to feel them. Acknowledging how you feel can help you move on, so don't be hard on yourself.

FEELING WORD: Merciful
Feeling merciful Alice shared her piece of the mushroom with the caterpillar.

Step 2: Take Action

Once you've processed what you're feeling, you can decide if you need to express your emotion. Sometimes it's enough to just realize how you feel, but other times you'll want to do something to feel better.
Think about the best way to express your emotion. Is this a time when you need to gently confront someone else? Talk over what you're feeling with a friend? Or work off the feeling by going for a run?Learn how to change your mood. At a certain point, you'll want to shift from a negative mood into a positive one. Otherwise your thinking may get stuck on how bad things are, and that can drag you down into feeling worse. Try doing things that make you happy, even if you don't feel like it at the time. For example, you might not be in the mood to go out after a breakup, but going for a walk or watching a funny movie with friends can lift you out of that negative space.

Feeling Word: Vulnerable
Putting herself out there, heart on sleeve, made Allice feel vulnerable.
  • Build positive emotions. Positive feelings create a sense of happiness and well being. Make it a habit to notice and focus on what's good in your life — even the little things, like the praise your dad gave you for fixing his bookshelves or how great the salad you made for lunch tastes. Noticing the good things even when you're feeling bad can help you shift the emotional balance from negative to positive.

FEELING WORD: Certainty
With the utmost certainty, Jack felt that his Lego creation was done.

  • Seek support. Talk about how you're feeling with a parent, trusted adult, or a friend. They can help you explore your emotions and give you a fresh way of thinking about things. And nothing helps you feel more understood and cared for than the support of someone who loves you for who you are.
  • Exercise. Physical activity helps the brain produce natural chemicals that promote a positive mood. Exercise also can release stress buildup and help you from staying stuck on negative feelings. To be continued..http://bit.ly/2ozJwUN
