When Feelings Come
Unwanted feelings.... big emotional feelings... When feelings come, what not to do? Don't ask why, don't wonder how, don't fight them and don't put yourself down for having these feelings. But most of all, don't blame someone or something else for how you feel.
What to do? Say, 'I choose this feeling.' This doesn't mean you want the feeling. It means you're accepting and taking responsibility for your feelings. This is the first step. But only the first step. Start by trying this. Then ask yourself what the next step might be.
