Trying to avoid or push away feelings only serves as a temporary fix; eventually, they will surface.Or perhaps you have become anxious or fearful, wondering why your boss or coworker hasn’t responded to one of your messages.
If you can relate to the above, it goes to show how common it is to experience a range of different emotions, even within one day. And when you feel overwhelmed by your feelings, it’s easy to push them aside and keep working. How, then, do you find a balance between trying to ignore your emotions and letting them run the show? The answer is learning to accept your internal reactions and to manage them better.Just like the weather, emotional energy is always present, whether we like it or not. Emotions are important to identify, consider, and understand; however, they don’t necessarily need to be an overriding factor in your plans.
