What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
I operate on the principle –
” This too shall pass”.
Negative feelings don’t just come out of the blue, there has to be a trigger or a premonition or at least a situation that warrants negativity!
It’s an aspect of our existence,our intellect and a natural way to exhibit our mental toxins,why deny them “the surfacing”,eh?
I do avoid confrontation, avoid conversations with the objects of my negativity, while I am in the grips of it, and it passes.
If it’s about my own action or situation, I keep quiet and go through it, till I can feel myself recovering and silver beams peeping from behind the dark clouds.
Like yin and yang, like happiness and sadness, there is a negative so we can realise positive feelings…

I try to remember that everything is temporary, but harder at some times than others

I try mindfulness. Not pushing the feelings away, but recognising them, letting them be and watching the ebb and flow. This might not work for everyone, but it helps me.
