I believe three are three basic ways in which people deal with emotion.Which of these have you used today?
1.Avoidance
We all want to avoid painful emotions.As a result,most people try to avoid any situation that could lead to emotions that they fear -- or worse,some people try not to feel any emotions at all!
If,for example,they fear rejection,they try to avoid any situation that could lead to rejection.They shy away from relationships.As a result keep themselves away from the feeling of love,intimacy,and connection that they desire most.

2.Denial.
People often try to disassociate from their feelings by saying,"It doesn't feel that bad."Meanwhile they keep stocking the fire within themselves by thinking about how horrible things are,or how someone has taken advantage of them,or how they do everything right but things still turn out wrong,and why does this always happen to me?
Experiencing an emotion and trying to pretend it's not there only creates more pain.
If the messge your emotions are trying to deliver is ignored,the emotions simply increase their amperage;they intensify until you finally pay attention.

3.Magnefication.
Many people stop fighting their painful emotions and decide to fully indulge in them.They intensify it and make it even worse than it is.It becomes a " badge of courage",and they begin to compete with others, saying,"You think you've got it bad?Let me tell you how bad I've got it!"It literally becomes part of their identity,a way of being unique;they begin to pride themselves on being worse off than anyone else.

Then what is not a mistake..
If you want to make your life really work,you must make your emotions work for you. Take your emotions as an internal compass that points you towards the actions you must take to arrive at your goals.
The emotions you once thought of as a negative are merely a CALL TO ACTION.
Realize that the emotions you are feeling at this very moment are a gift,a guideline,a support system,a call to action.
Do you avoid them,deny them,magnify them or not take a call for action..what is the mistake you are doing RIGHT NOW.
Do share your emotions in comment box.
