Are Your Feelings Too Strong?

Do you every have strong emotions about something and can't shake them? Do you feel distressed often and unable to know what to do with them?

Sometimes, your feelings may be too strong to handle. This is especially the case when you don't feel good about your feelings because they are distressing or make you feel fearful.

During times like these, you may want to escape from your feelings for a while until you can deal with them. Here are four Great Escapes for you to try.

1. You should find something to laugh about. You may want to read your favourite cartoon book. Or, you may want to watch a silly movie or TV show. Ask somebody to tickle you or tell you a joke. This could also help a lot.

2. You may want to find something funny about what you're worrying about. If you can make light of it, sometimes it can help volumes to make you feel better and less fearful or upset.

3. You may want to focus on something else for a while. When strong negative feelings hit, you may want to go swimming or bicycling. You may want to take a walk and concentrate on the sights and sounds around you. Talk to yourself about everything that you're seeing, hearing, smelling and touching.

4. You may want to take some time for rest. Relaxing is another way to regroup and refocus. You may want to find a quiet corner where you can be alone for a while. Sit comfortably and close your eyes. This can really help a lot.

So, the next time you have a lot of strong, negative emotions ruining your day and making you feel awful about yourself, try one of these four techniques to regroup. You will feel better and you'll be able to tackle whatever comes your way next.
