Imagine you possess a Delete Button (somewhere conveniently accessible like your watch). The best way to deal with them? – Delete them!…

They make you feel vulnerable, insecure, and even lousy. They are the nagging voices that continue to haunt & taunt you. They question your decisions remind you of your failures attack your worth & confidence. We call them ‘residual’ negative emotions. This action alone helps create a positive vision for ourselves, and signals to our brains to adopt a ‘hunting’ behaviour mode, looking beyond our problems and ‘stuckness’, and focusing on solutions.Įven after taking initial positive actions, there will be lingering doubts, skepticism, fear etc. Make a list of contacts or resources available to us that can support us towards more favourable outcomes. Ask ourselves what other options and possibilities there are within our power to take action.

The best way to move forward constructively is to search for alternative solutions. Nothing gets better by complaining or harping over our predicament. So when faced with unfavourable situations, calm down, stay cool, and be in control… Remember, we cannot control what happens to us, but we can control and master what goes on within us. Especially our initial reactions, which may be impulsive, and leave us regretting later on. What we can and should do is to exercise control and manage our emotions. Our negative responses only makes matters worse anyway. But that does not mean we have to react to them. Unforeseen situations can affect you emotionally.

It’s a simple concept, and we see it on our computer keyboards everyday.
