Hello there , how are you on today ? I hope you're having a wonderful day so far . And this is a bonus episode , and this is the episode where I will show you how you can process your thoughts when things are happening that you cannot control . So this is an activity bonus episode . So get out your paper and pen , let's get to it .
So how can you process your thoughts when things are happening that you cannot control ? First , I want you to understand that thinking is good . It is good to process your thoughts when you are , you know , going through things . When things are not going , when things are good , when things are bad , it is good to process your thoughts .
So let's get to the first thing that you are to do Write down this question what is going on with me ? What is going on with me ? What is going on with me ? And when you answer this question , it needs to be feeling words . Feeling words are so important and I know that most people have basic feeling words like mad , glad , sad .
But it is so good if we can start learning more feeling words . If you want to learn more feeling words , you can Google the feeling wheel , the feeling wheel .
It will have a chart of so many feeling words that you can actually learn like depressed , thoughtful , intimate , trusting , scared , submissive , anxious , confused , hostile , lonely , peaceful , responsive , detached , sleepy , thankful , confident , optimistic , thankful , confident , optimistic , fascinating , overwhelmed , embarrassed , insignificant , discouraged , embarrassed .
So it's many , many words on this feeling word and it's good to know what is going on with you , with strong feeling words because when people ask us what's going on with you , we can tell them a feeling word , because that feeling word will be able to just actually speak for you .
So it's good to have more feeling words and , like I said before , if you want to know more feeling words , just Google the feeling wheel W-H-E-E-L . So the question that you are to first answer is what is going on with me With some feeling words ? Okay , because I do want you to be able to express your feelings , express your thoughts .
So if you say I am frustrated , okay , what is making you frustrated ? What got you frustrated ? And that's when you start expressing frustrated thoughts , because sometimes people do you know , express themselves emotionally .
So sometimes you will start talking and , depending on if you're talking in the heat of the moment or in the midst of the problem , then , yes , that frustration is going to show up , you know , through your thoughts . So make sure that you are somewhere where you can have a safe space to speak what you need to speak .
But just in case you do not have a safe space , you can most definitely write down these things on paper , because they tend to flow out easier when you're writing them down anyway . So this is the first thing to do ask yourself what is going on with you with feeling words .
And when you write down that feeling word , I want you to ask yourself what got me ? Whatever that feeling word is , you know , and just spill , spill it out on the paper . Okay , because this is the way of how you can process those thoughts and those feelings .
Instead of internalizing because internalizing your feelings does not work All you're going to do is just pack it , pack it , pack it on the inside and next thing , you know you're going to explode and , baby , it ain't no telling what you're going to be looking like when you explode .
It ain't no telling you're going to explode and , baby , it ain't no telling what you're going to be looking like when you explode . It ain't no telling what's going to happen . So be mindful of that , that you are not internalizing your thoughts and feelings , all right . So until you get to the next episode . Be kind to yourself as well as to others .
