Learn to Recognize Your Feelings!

There are times in life when anxiety, frustration, and depression all of a sudden start and you don't know where to go. Although some of us, it is true, can feel these unpleasant feelings more deeply, compared to others, they upset our whole existence.

These are the moments when you don't know what you want from life when you fall into a deep melancholy from which you can no longer get out or into a depression that makes you forget to live, or even worse, why you live.

These feelings should never occur to any of us, but this is the course of the universe and we cannot resist. All we can do is be careful when these negative states overwhelm us so that we can stop them in time and not let them settle inside us.

Stop the negative states from coming to life!

Before you let your mind go crazy and frustration, anxiety, stress, depression make your soul nest, stop for a minute, close your eyes and take a deep breath. Then distract yourself from anything else or a pleasant memory in your life. Focus on these parts and gradually you will feel how the tension will lose its power, bringing you back to a relaxed state.

Identifying negative emotions

Do you feel angry, embarrassed, or ashamed of something you did? No matter the emotion, don't judge yourself for it. It is understandable that, at some point, you will also have such negative feelings. Either a colleague annoyed you, or you put on a black bra over a transparent white blouse and you feel ashamed of it, you need to know when to stop these negative thoughts.

Stop letting negativity invade your thoughts. Well, you argued with your colleague, that's not a reason to be upset or sad all day. Try to catch your breath and exhale after each fight as you count to 10 in your mind. Believe me, this is the best way to relax and return to the original state you had before that little incident, which is a positive one.

Name of states

When scientists at UCLA's Brain Mapping Center revealed pictures of frightened or angry girls to the participating subjects, their neural activity intensified, signaling a sense of fear.

However, when participants were asked to describe facial expressions in pictures using just one word, their brain activity decreased and was transferred to the prefrontal cortex region which is located in the frontal lobe of the brain.

It is also the region where impulse control occurs. This part of the brain reminds us that everything is fine when we are in the middle of chaos. Therefore, naming emotions can help you recognize the emotion you have, making you feel less overwhelmed by it.

Be careful when you fall into thoughts!

Most of us do not realize the moments when we fall into thoughts or those when we stare at an object without hearing or seeing anything else around us. This feeling is called melancholy. It's exactly the feeling you don't need in the slightest, no matter what you're going through. I don't know if it's a more overwhelming condition than this.

That's why, to avoid getting melancholy, change the direction of your eyes to another object in the room or look out the window for a minute and then resume activity.

If you learn to focus on these pleasant experiences, you will be able to activate your happiness related to neurons, which will increase the pleasure of waiting for better times!

To increase receptivity, you can appeal to all your senses. Don't just look at the flowers, you can smell them! Don't just look at the sunset, but feel the cool spring breeze with your whole being!

Enjoy a cup of lavender tea while looking out the window! By enjoying these pleasant moments more often, you will help your brain to more easily integrate the sensory experience into memory.
