Identifying Negative Emotions


There are four main categories of negative emotions: fear,
anxiety, disgust, and anger. Uncomfortable feelings can rob us of
our quality of life, steering us away from what God has in store
for our lives. We’ve gotten used to feeling down, frustrated, and
offended because we attribute them as natural reactions to life
circumstances. Instead of ignoring our emotions, we should take
them as warning signs. Letting these feelings fester will lead to
more problems later on.


 


Adjust Your Emotions


Here are some tips on how to dispel negative emotions. The first
is to challenge the validity of what you’re feeling. Our present
emotions do not always reflect the truth. Try to think of
instances that challenge our current predicament. Next, own your
emotions by taking responsibility for your thoughts. We have the
choice to believe them or not. Third, adjust your focus. Ask
yourself what your goals are and if your current state will be
able to help you reach success. Negative thoughts and emotions
can be habitual, but we have the power to shape them into
something better.
