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.
