Sending negative emotions away!
We all have negative emotions—-no surprise right? It is just s a part of life. It is what you do ABOUT them and HOW you deal with them that matters.
Very often we try to make believe we do not have them, we get frustrated that we have them, or we get mad that we have them or we reallllllllllllllllllly indulge them. NONE of these actions make them go away, in fact it just adds more negative emotion on top of the already exiting ones. YUCK!
Here’s a very quick fix that will give you relief to ease the moment. First, ACKNOWLEDGE that you have it, now remember acknowledging is not indulging it. Then, once you acknowledge it, imagine that this emotion is a balloon with a string. YOU DO NOT WANT TO TIE THE STRING TO YOU FINGERS as this is just like indulging it! Imagine that you just let it flow through your fingers and let it go……..watch it floating away….further and further…….that’s right ……just…. like that.
As you let it float away notice the relief and take a deep breath and move on with your day!

Thank you, Gail. This is such a powerful and easy tool for everyday use to just LET IT GO, before letting the negative emotions eat away at us and cause serious problems in our relationships, our body temple, our finances. I’m going to share this tool with Isabelle, my almost 10 year old daughter. As she moves into the double digit range, she’s going to need all the tools we mamas can give her to stay strong!
