How to Overcome Fear, Sadness, Anger and Grief

 

In every life there is pain, loss, illness, loneliness and death. We have no claim to a long life and still be spared by fate. What is your pain today? Here is a simple method for overcoming negative emotions.

Steps

1. 1
   Describe your situation and your problem briefly. Find a pad of paper or a journal book and answer the following questions:
   • How is your situation exactly?
   • What is the problem?
   • Where is the center of the problem?
2. 2
   Consider your emotions. What are the feelings in you? Fear, anger, addiction, desire, or grief? Which feeling is the strongest? Where is the feeling sitting in your body?
3. 3
   Consider your thoughts. What thoughts are connected with your feelings? Why are you sad,anxious, angry or yearning for something else?
   • Count down all your stressful thoughts: My thoughts are...
4. 4
   Think about the triggers. What triggers your problem? Is it one thing or a variety of things?
5. 5
   Think about different solutions. What is the way out of your problem? What brings you to love, excitement, fulfillment, fortunately, satisfaction? Think about your problem until you find a solution.
   • Collect all the information you need to find solutions. This might include reading about how other people have dealt with similar problems, or it can be as simple as collecting together your past successful approaches to facing a problem.
6. 6
   Follow your positive thoughts. Fulfill your positive life plan. Avoid meaningless brooding. Don't leave your dreams for others to fulfill.
   • What is your positive duty now? "My positive sentence is..."
   • Attempt to draw your eyes and thoughts to the positive.
   • Create a diary of gratitude. Every day, write down three things that went well, or three things you are grateful for (even little things!) - after a week, you will start to see that every day has something to appreciate.
   • Spend 10 minutes each day writing about the best possible outcome for your life. What would your life be like if all your hopes and plans went as well as they possibly could? Keep working on this picture, filling in more and more details as you get clear on them.
7. 7
   Find your personal path. The sense of life is to live a good life. It is even better to be happy than to be unhappy. Look closely at your skills, your life situation and the world around you. Then you know what you have to do. There is a way for everyone to be happy and to live permanently in all-embracing love.
