Getting stuck in emotions and what to do about it

Have you ever felt like you were stuck in an emotion like anger or sadness?

Almost like there is a part of you that kind of likes the emotion and doesn’t want to get out of it after all?

There’s a reason for that and I explain it all in this video:

 

Here’s what I said in a nutshell:

1. You get stuck in your emotions because of your brain.
2. Your brain gets a little reward every time it is efficient at something (including being grumpy)

Here’s what to do about it:

1. Use your mind:  notice you’re emotion getting stuck and say “NO!” I choose a different path.
2. Use your body:  stomp a foot as you say “No” or flick your fingers.  Get your body engaged to pull you out of the moment.
3. Use your heart:  feel into the emotion you would prefer to be feeling in this moment (love, patience, hope etc)
4. Use your Soul:  call on your spiritual tools such as flowers and prayer

Watch the video to learn the details on how to do this!  

 

Now it’s your turn.  Comment below after you’ve had a chance to practice & let me know how it goes!  What emotion did you feel into? What spiritual tool did you use?
