4 Ways to Make Peace with Overwhelming Emotions
https://buff.ly/P59oycJ

Neuroscience tells us that each emotion only lasts 90 seconds. Adrenaline, cortisol, stress chemistry — all rise, peak, and fade in about a minute and a half. ⏰

So why do we stay angry for hours, anxious for days, or sad for weeks?
Because we keep feeding emotions with the same thoughts — over and over and over. So, you stay angry, hurt, and depressed. 😖

The thing I want you to know is that you are doing it to yourself. More importantly, you CAN also stop it. You can learn to make peace with your emotions — and even let them teach you — by taking a mindful pause, turning toward them with awareness, and doing something to interrupt the cycle. Here are four ways to do that.👍

Revel in your randomness. Embrace your weirdness and your beautiful heart. Go out there and be EXACTLY who you are. When you accept yourself fully, (and can even be amused by our human foibles) not one person, but many, will love you for exactly who you are.

Just because some people may not “get” you, doesn’t mean that you are not wonderful. What it does mean is that they are not ready or not yet willing to understand… as they are still working on their own healing.

There are others though, that maybe you have yet to meet, who would love to love the person you may be tempted to hide. Don’t hide - let this side of you be expressed, to be a lighthouse for others who share a similar energy. Then, as you shine in your authenticity, guess what? They can find you...
