When we feel intense emotions, it is our body’s way of attempting to communicate something to us. Instead of shying away from our intense emotions we can sit with them, notice them, try to anchor ourselves in the present moment, and try to figure out what our emotions are attempting to tell us. Often times, we may be more focused on the past or the future, worrying about things not in the present moment, so if we can ask ourselves “where are we right now” we can figure out what emotions we are really feeling and potentially why to reduce self-criticism over negative emotions.
