Your emotions are built into you for a reason. They are, essentially, your body’s way of talking to you. When you use them the way they are meant to be used, they will inform, direct, guide, motivate, energize and guide you. But this is a powerful force that, unfortunately, when misused, can turn against you. Check out these strategies to take control of strong emotions.

📕 Writing: Other than therapists, few people know that the only way to effectively manage and work through emotion is to allow yourself to feel it.
👫 Sharing: There is something almost magical about sharing a strong emotion with another person. Possessing this magic is one of the great advantages of having a strong emotional bond with a trusted someone in your life, like your spouse or friend.
🧘‍♀️Meditating: Intense feelings have a way of driving your brain. It can almost feel like someone else is in charge of it. It may make your thoughts race or become very negative or disjointed. The beauty of meditation is that it is the exact opposite of all of this.
💡Processing: This is the granddaddy of all emotion skills. It consists of all of the steps above, combined. It involves sitting with the feeling while sorting out what the feeling is, why you are having it, and what the feeling is telling you.
