Calming The Emotional Storm
Sometimes our emotions are like calm waves, sometimes they descend like a grey mist, and sometimes they arrive as a full blown storm.
Next time you get swept up in an emotional storm, try and detach from it, that is withdraw your energy from the emotion. Observe the emotion you feel, without judging. Detach and observe, and you withdraw the energy required to keep the storm going. When the storm calms down, think about what triggered the emotions in the first place.
If you can’t detach and observe, simply ride the storm out until your emotion becomes calm once again.
