Accept all of your feelings. It's simple to accept happiness, joy, and love — those nice sensations... Anger, fear, concern, insecurity, exhilaration, and melancholy are all emotions. And, while they are unpleasant, they do feel less powerful if you accept them.

Instead of expressing to yourself, "This anger feels dreadful, I feel bad, I want this to end," learn to say, “I am angry. I can feel it in my body. And that’s okay. I accept that I am angry right now.” 99% of the time, the strength of these emotions fades as soon as you accept them.

A few ways to accept your feelings are:

  • Consult with your family. Other family members may be feeling the same way you are. You may help each other express, vent, and accept your sentiments in productive ways by talking about them. You may help each other by providing support and reassurance, which will help you develop more positive self-esteem.

  • Talk to others. Do not keep your emotions wrapped up inside. Talking to people who have been or are in similar situations can provide much-needed assistance. You will discover that you are not alone if you talk about your feelings.

  • Take breaks for emotional well-being. Consider techniques to reduce the emotional strain and stress you are feeling. Spend some time doing activities you enjoy. Integrate regular physical activity into your daily routine to help you work off your stress and improve your general well-being.
