Many of us have myths about emotions that get in the way of coping well when we experience a painful, unwanted emotion. Some of us might judge our emotions, “It’s stupid to feel so upset about this.” or ourselves when we feel emotions, “I’m so weak, I can’t handle anything”.

These emotional myths stem from our experiences and observations of others’ responses to emotions, shaped by family, friends, community, and media influences.

The facts we have on emotions are that they provide us with information about ourselves and our experiences. Emotions help keep us safe and help us form connections and relationships. Emotions also guide us to engage with what is most meaningful to us.

Try out a challenge to one of your emotional myths when you notice your inner dialogue rejects it: “My emotions are important”.

When we perceive a threat or are faced with stressors, our emotions can become intense and feel unbearable.

Our bodies react with an increased heart rate, rapid, shallow breathing, tense muscles, slow digestion, and difficulty thinking through problems.

To manage these intense emotions and avoid impulsive actions, using concrete strategies is crucial. Paced breathing is particularly effective in slowing down rapid, shallow breathing induced by high distress.

Here’s how to practice paced breathing: Start by exhaling completely. Then, count your breath as you inhale, and extend the exhalation to at least 2 counts longer than your inhalation. For deeper benefits, engage your abdomen in deep breathing—letting it rise on inhalation and fall on exhalation.

Regular practice of paced breathing before emotions peak can help you remember to use it during intense moments.

When we want to ask for something or tell someone “no”, it is helpful to consider the goals and priorities in order to prepare our communication and be more effective in reaching those goals.

We want to consider, what is the specific action or change I want from this person, what is my objective? Also, how do I want the relationship to be impacted by my request and how I communicate my request? And how do I want to feel about myself after I engage in the communication; how might I act in a way to increase my self respect and feelings of competence?

Answering these questions guides us toward skills and strategies to help us achieve these goals.

Have you ever felt at the mercy of your emotions? Or noticed that you acted without thinking? Mindfulness skills can help you feel at peace and have more self-control, even when faced with intense emotions.

One mindful strategy is to describe without judgment. This means not judging our thoughts, emotions, ourselves, others, or circumstances as “good” or “bad”.

Judgments lead to emotional reactions. Labeling ourselves as “bad” leads to shame and self disgust. Labeling others as “bad” leads to anger and disgust of others. It is more helpful to describe the facts of a situation and the outcomes we observed.

Instead of thinking or saying “he’s a jerk”, thinking “he cut in front of me in line and I am disappointed that I have to wait another 5 minutes to check out and return home to my family.”

Making a change and reducing judgments can decrease emotions about difficult life events.
