Whenever I feel down and cannot bring my self together I decide to wait until I am alone to process the situation. Usually until I arrive to my room. Once I am there I start to think and analyze the situation. I let my self feel everything without shutting any emotion down. If I need to I cry, I smile, I laugh. I do this until I am exhausted. After I have passed the breaking point and cannot feel worse that that, I write down what I feel. This helps me in a surprising way. I write all my feelings and thoughts until I have released these emotions.
When this stage is done I start to think about the good things in my life. Like my dog, my family, my friends, my career, and so many other things that now seem a lot brighter that they used to. I focus on them and start doing actions that bring me joy. Such as watching a movie, hanging out with my friends, and playing with my dog.
After I start feeling a lot better and moving passed the anger or sadness, I write down that I believe I will feel better because of who I am. That even if it takes me days, or weeks I know I will feel better because I believe in myself of being capable of moving on. And no matter how big the problem is, I am bigger.
