Do you stuff emotions down; and then have exaggerated reactions when you finally express them? That was me - I always felt the need to cry when I was expressing something that made me feel sad, angry or upset.
I tap into why that is + how journaling has helped me control my tears (and emotions).
Journal Prompts:
- What emotions have you stuffed down recently or in the past?
- or what triggers you to react?
- What situations caused those emotions?
- Normalize emotions by giving yourself *permission* to feel them; accepting yourself for feeling them; validating that the emotion & how you handled the situation was the best that you could at the time.
