Experiencing fear, anxiety, sadness or anger are all very normal during stressful situations, change or significant life events.
It’s no secret that change is hard. Going through so many changes in a short period of time can be a lot to take in. However, the sooner you accept and embrace your feelings, the sooner you can move past them.
Focus On The Facts:
Emotions are very powerful and can often get the best of us – that is if we let them.
We all have three states of mind. An emotional mind, a rational mind, and a wise mind.
Having an emotional mind is common during stressful situations. But if we aren’t careful, that mindset can quickly escalate anxieties.
Thinking rationally is all about focusing on the facts and staying clear of black and white thinking.
Spending Time Around Positive People:
The people we spend our time with have a massive impact on the way we think and feel. Both positive and negative behaviors are contagious. Chances are if you spend the majority of your time around positive people, their positivity will rub off on you.
Focus On Self-Care:
When life gets busy, we can often put ourselves last. No matter how difficult things may be right now, it’s so important to prioritize self-care.
These self-care activities don’t need to be extravagant or break the bank. You can take a nap, read a book, draw, etc.
