Pay attention to what makes you feel on edge. If you’re feeling angry try to stop and assess what is triggering that anger. It doesn’t have to make sense. Is the sound of shoes squeaking on the floor grating? Is the way someone is asking you for something upsetting even if the ask isn’t? Understanding what is bothering us is the first step to diffusing our anger.

Femme Fatale Guide: Tips To Become More Emotionally Intelligent

Embrace self-awareness & self-reflection: Observe how you feel, behave, and how people generally respond to your words/actions in different situations

Practice self-regulation: Learn to differentiate between your feelings and the actions that would be appropriate in a specific setting or interaction. Internalize that feelings are fleeting and non-factual. You're in control of how you respond/(don't) act on these emotions

Engage in active listening: Pay attention to what others are saying with the intent of understanding, not responding

Focus on emotional differentiation: Understand where your thoughts, feelings, intentions, and opinions end and another person's identity/perception begins

Display radical empathy and acceptance: Understand that almost all people's words and actions result from their own beliefs, past experiences, and current life circumstances/priorities. Put yourself in their shoes when attempting to understand their choices, behaviors, and times they come to you to discuss a problem, success, or major life decision. Accept that you can only control what you do. Very little of other people's actions/the world's workings are personal. Things are happening around you, not to you

Let go of your ego: View yourself as objectively as possible with the potential for improvement. Abolish any superior complex or overwhelming desire to prove your self-importance in others' lives and decisions

Remain open-minded: Question your own beliefs and opinions. Stay curious as to why you believe them to be true/authentic to you. Allow your opinions to change or have the capacity to modify your beliefs upon hearing new information. Understand your worldview and values are valid, but they're not definitively correct beliefs, just because they resonate/feel comfortable for you

Be receptive to feedback: Embrace constructive criticism as a self-improvement tool. Approach it with curiosity and optimism, not as a personal attack

Differentiate between your feelings and capabilities: Your thoughts are not facts. Remember you can do things you don't feel like doing most of the time (work, waking up in the morning, working out, etc.). Learn the difference between being a slave to your emotions and genuinely running out of energy

learning how to acknowledge your emotions without letting them take you down unhealthy paths is so so important. experiencing intense emotions can be hard, but it’s your responsibility to learn how to process those emotions healthily

practice calming exercises before you’re in a time of crisis, practice communicating your boundaries before everything blows up, work on positive self-talk before you reach distress. these are skills that need to be practiced before you’re able to use them when you actually need them!

being able to say “this is making me frustrated, I’m gonna take a step back and come back to it later” is a good skill to be in your toolbelt. but you can’t expect to be able to do that in crisis if you’ve never tried it out beforehand

it may be that, after having been "avoided" by others or put on a side as a second if not third or more choice by others, your mind keeps telling you you'll never get out of that: people will keep abandoning you, letting you down, choosing someone or something else. you may take every sign, even those who are not strictly related to this situation, as a confirmation for you not being worthy enough. not being able to have good relationships (of any type).

but that's not the case. it's indeed really heavy and heart-breaking to deal with such experiences, but don't let your mind and your past fool you. please, talk with your hurt inner self: tell them they are enough the way they are, they don't have to change anything or please anyone to be deserving of love and attention, they aren't wrong. and it won't always go this way. someone caring, that will choose you, willing to learn about you and remember everything about you, is already on their way to you. you deserve that type of love. keep enduring, especially on those days in which it seems impossible, and appreciate yourself for all you've done (be objective: you've done a lot but at times you forget about it or can't see it). like, love and support yourself in any way you want and try to give yourself what you need. prepare yourself for what is coming. cause it's coming just for you and you need to be ready to receive it all (at times we think we're ready but we're not used to that and we may *unconsciously* decide to run away out of "fear/uncomfortability": to start giving to yourself will help you get a little more acquainted with the new feelings you will experience and not push them away).

"don't cry, you're strong."

NO. CRY. YOU'RE STILL AS STRONG.

not crying is not a good thing. emotional regulation is. and that does not always mean someone who doesn't cry or feel upset.

Feeling suicidal?

Small things that can help:

Make your space safe. Remove any dangerous items & ask someone safe to hold ur meds etc.

Soothing soundscapes like rainforest, beach ambiance, etc. Even calming screensavers on YouTube like bubble aquariums and rainy moods, etc.

Vent, talk it out, cry it out, sleep it out

Angry yelling, into a pillow if you're concerned about noise

Allow yourself to feel bad. Nothing good comes from keeping it bottled up inside.

Music, art, dance, hobbies, distract with coping skills that engage ur body too

Soft blankets, teddy bears, comfort items

Allow your body to express it's pain. Cry, shake, shake ur shoulders, flail your arms, punch the air, stomp ur legs, scrunch up ur face in pain. It is okay to move! It is okay to make noise! It is okay to stomp around and pretend to be in a tantrum! This actually helps your body release pent up emotions! If ur worried about looking silly then find a private space to try some of these out.

Allow yourself to be destructive in other ways, like ripping up some old clothes or tearing pages out of a magazine

Normalize your feelings. You're not a bad person, but if you feel like you are then that's okay too.

Go outside, or look out the window

Remember that all emotions pass. This moment feels so big, and that's okay. It's gonna pass.

Simulate touch to your nervous system. Butterfly hugs (place a hand over your heart and lightly tap), self hugs, weighted blankets, hold comfort items to your chest. Something to signal to ur body that ur safe.

Leave sticky notes of encouragement around ur house. Ur favorite affirmations, words you really wish someone would say to you, and maybe some reminders that you are safe & strong & capable & you're gonna be okay

Moodboards, vent art, visualize and express your pain (can be gory & explicit. It's your pain, express it however you need to)

Think of yourself as being sick with a cold. You need a blanket and a bowl of chicken noodle soup. What kinds of things can help soothe you while you're feeling this way?

Big things that can help:

Make space for what you're going through

Learn how to say "no" to other people's bullshit more often

Talk about the bullshit that's dragging you down more often

Learn how to notice things that make you explode inside

Make the effort to commit to a hard change even if it's gonna be hard & ruffle some feathers

Even if those feathers "support you", even if you love them, even if they're your family or a close friend, if they're causing you more harm than good then it's time to let em go

Accept your current position. This means to stop denying & pretending that you're not feeling pain. There is no need for you to keep "sucking it up" until you're fucking dead. Accept that this is where you are so you can start to move towards a safer space.

Adapt a policy of genuine honesty with yourself and everyone else around you

Make an effort to complain a lot more than you do now, preferably in safer spaces that can support & hold space for you. That's actually gonna help you figure it out for yourself.

Be more selective with who gets access to your time and energy

Cut the dead weight & loose ends

Allow yourself to grieve and mourn a helluva lot more than you do now

Allow yourself to express your anger and disappointment at the world & the bullshit you've had to endure

Find ways to give back to yourself

Find ways to restore your faith in yourself & in humanity

Cultivate yourself a safe space

Prioritize safety, healthy communication, mutual respect, consent, boundaries, and self compassion

Dig in deeper with yourself, your thoughts, feelings, & emotions and start validating & finding ways to be more tolerable of yourself

Learn how to take a break when you need it

Find ways and inspiration to keep you going through the darkest moments

You are worth the effort. You are worth the effort to prioritize yourself, you are worth the effort to prioritize your health, stability, & peace of mind. Things aren't gonna change overnight, and these feelings of hopelessness may be too largely overwhelming to move by yourself. You've gotta start somewhere though. Baby steps. One foot in front of the other. You will get there.

Hope this helps 🌸

Daily #2,527! I'd always been the type of person who would get depressed over angry, so anger was not an emotion I felt very familiar dealing with. And it also wasn't something I expected to feel so much after being a parent. But some days the exhaustion, overwhelm, and frustration really get me. It's the part about needing a minute (or more!) and not always feeling you can get it at times that makes me feel like a shaken bottle about to explode.

I don't want to take my feelings out on anyone, especially not my very own child. (Been there, done that when I was a child myself.) So learning how to regulate my emotions and keep calm has been one of my biggest challenges. It's one of the things I've worked on through books and therapy. Sometimes I still mess up. But I apologize. And always try to do better next time.
