Reminder: Take a break from your feelings.

You are not supposed to constantly feel and analyze your feelings, thoughts and emotions all the time as this can be counterproductive.

Here's what you can do instead.

1. Name it. Name the feeling and then frame it for what it is - temporary. Tell yourself, "This is a temporary emotions, not a permanent truth".

2. Contain it. Give yourself a time limit container: "I'll journal or sit with this for 15 minutes and then go do something productive/nourishing", or anything else that you've been putting off.

3. Do something neutral. If you cannot regulate yourself, don't go for joy. Go for Neutral. Wash dishes, fold laundry, sit in the sunlight. Humm while you do this as humming and thinking cannot occur at the same time as you might find yourself going over the same thoughts and feelings earlier experienced.

Letting your feelings take over will only lead to burnout.
