How To Deal With Negative Emotions

This document provides guidance on dealing with negative emotions through daily self-reflection techniques. It recommends carving out quiet time each day to introspectively ask "What am I feeling now?" and let responses emerge. With practice, this can help identify buried feelings like muted anxiety, ancient traumas, or physical tensions, and bring a sense of recognition and relief. Examining emotions at a deeper level through inner inquiry helps reduce accumulated unfelt feelings that can otherwise lead to psychological issues. The goal is to feel emotions more fully and compassionately in order to gain peace of mind and a lighter soul.

unexpected and troublesome, spontaneously realize, resentment or fear
elude us, practical, disentangle

An unexpected and troublesome feature of being human is that we feel so much more
than we spontaneously realize we feel. There are emotions coursing through of us - of
anger or joy, resentment or fear – that lie just outside the sphere of ordinary
consciousness and that elude us as we rush through the challenges of our lives. These
emotions lie low in part because they are often too shocking or sad or contrary to
expectations for us to want to make sense of them. We might hate where we are
supposed to love; or may feel sad where we are meant to be practical - and so, out of
timidity and fear, we omit to register our authentic reality. Or else our feelings get
ignored because they enter our minds too fast, and in too great a quantity for us to
disentangle them in the limited time we devote to self-understanding.

Panoply, identified, adequately, to fall prey to
anxiety, paranoia, Mental unwellness, carving out
continually ask, penumbra of, intimations of

And yet unless the full panoply of our emotions is regularly identified and adequately
‘felt’, we are likely to fall prey to a range of psychological ills: anxiety, paranoia,
depression and worse. Mental unwellness is born out of an accumulation of unfelt
feelings. We must do ourselves the favour of regularly - ideally once a day - carving out
periods in which to get more deeply acquainted with our true emotions. We must
continually ask ourselves a simple-sounding but grand and deep question: What am I
feeling now? To draw out valuable answers, we should sit somewhere quiet, probably in
bed, with the lights low, and a pad and pen handy. We should close our eyes and let the
generosity and free-form nature of the question resonate. After a few moments of
scanning the penumbra of the inner mind, we are liable to pick up a few intimations of
something.

disturbingly well-camouflaged, stealth,
inner enquiry, recognizable, muted feelings

It might be the rustle of a disturbingly well-camouflaged anxiety. With some of the


stealth of a hunter in the undergrowth or a fisherman by the bank of a river, we can
press ourselves to reflect further: what does it seem we are actually anxious about? It
may require a good deal more reverie and inner enquiry before we very gradually feel a
recognisable notion emerging, like a landscape subtly appearing at the slow break of a
summer day. We may need to decode apparently minute moments of aggression,
meanness, confusion or grief that have impacted on us without us properly noticing. Or
we might, as we examine ourselves, detect traces of ancient traumas that seem to be
still active in distant valleys: someone is crying, someone is very worried, a small
person - who might be us - needs our help quite badly. We should carry out a similar
process with our bodies, where many more muted feelings lie buried. ‘What is my body
feeling?’ we can ask, strangely but usefully.

Ask yourself, do I make a difference at what I do?

What can I do to improve my surrounding at work?

Does this feeling change once I leave work?

Our limbs, reassurance, frustrated,
unfelt feelings, melancholy, compassionate
‘
What would it like to talk to me about?’ And to get more specific: ‘If my shoulders could
speak right now, what might they say? And my chest, what would it say? And my arms,
my hands, my legs, my feet?’ Our limbs might want to curl into a ball and long for
reassurance, or else hit an opponent or elongate themselves defiantly and boldly. Or
they might remember an old frustrated wish to be held on a comforting chest. Through
ten or twenty minutes of this kind of concentrated, but loose and exploratory wander
through ourselves, we reduce the worry and sorrow of unfelt feelings. We become sad
where we were previously melancholy, angry where we were irritable and
compassionate where we were anxious - and the result is a newfound peace of mind
and lightness of the soul. We seem to have so much time for everything - except for
what can save us.
