A Positive Step-by-Step Guide to Handling Any BIG Emotion

“Depression and anxiety can’t fit in your head if you’re cultivating feelings of joy and inspiration.” ~ Austin Butler

Life is a journey that is actually full of emotions and feelings. Everything that happens in our life we have attached an emotion to it. In fact, if you think of any event from the past(even yesterday) the emotion attached to that event is what you feel first when you think about it.

5 Healing Life Lessons from INSIDE OUT 2

About 3 weeks back I had the pleasure of watching “Inside Out 2” with my family, and I must say it’s an amazing film. I love how the movie shows how different emotions affect young people today.

At first, it focuses on simple emotions like Joy, Fear, Sadness, Anger, and Disgust, a.k.a. the five core emotions.

Few years ago, I realized that my own life energy was getting exhausted more often than usual. I was getting irritated easily, frustrated on the smallest things, angry for silliest stuff and tired beyond measure. It took me a while to realise that this is NOT me.

My default setting, if you know me or ask anyone who knows me is high energy and very bubbly. All those who know me say the same thing. I know this as my truth as well. So, when that very deep dip in energy levels took place years ago, I was forced to look deeper to try and understand why this was happening.

I then decided to take care of myself after feeling completely emotionally drained. Here is how I handled it positively…
