BIG Emotions

And how to tackle them?

scribbling out my big emotions!

Yes , as my therapist with experience has suggested I try scribbling or just colouring with my choice of colours and take deep breaths while colouring.

I did it in front of her and it worked. When I did it on my own, I struggled! And I told her it’s not working 😢

She told , when we go to the gym the first day and it hurts , do we give up saying we cannot loose weight?

In the same way for a process to work , we need to give it several trials . She told me this method has worked with several of her clients and even on an eighty year old!

my writing table AH!

So, as i sat to for my journalling and set up the atmosphere and mood , my mom called on WhatsApp from her bedroom, Saying , she needs to talk to me! As i asked what she wanted to say , she hung up the phone!

I put off the ferry lights , got up from the table and went and it was something small that she wanted to tell me!

I listened and came back to my room, turned on the ferry lights and suddenly I lost interest in journalling!

And I started to cry instead! I thought ok these are my “BIG emotions” that need to be released through scribbling or colouring, I took out my markers and started scribbling.

Therapist has suggested , to keep breathing with the speed of the strokes.

But I was so overwhelmed, that I was just crying meanwhile.

And then the magic happened! As I finished the page I felt better! And lighter AH!

So much that , I felt like writing about it here.

So, my dear readers , I am sharing the secret to deal with your Big emotions.

Hope that works for you as well , as it has started working for me AH!

Good luck!
