Tricks for coping with unpleasant emotions

Avoiding unpleasant emotions, we do not allow ourselves to live the life we dream about.

Most of us try to avoid unpleasant emotions and difficulties in every way. But if you neglect your feelings at the moment, you can achieve a lot. When you are afraid, but still doing, you get satisfaction, knowing that you live by your own rules. You stop being a hostage of your emotions.

• Decide and act

When you crave for your ultimate goal, difficulties lose meaning.

In other words, if the reason is strong enough, you will be ready to act, no matter what. Therefore, it is very important to clearly identify your reasons and motivations - then it will be easier for you to start.

If you do the same as usual, you will get the same result. If you dream of something more, you need to do something differently.

It does not matter how you feel at the moment. Of course, you will be uncomfortable, because you leave your comfort zone. But, as Tim Ferris said: "The success of a person in life is usually measured by the amount of awkward conversations that he is ready to begin."

• Start with small

For example, take a cold shower. Before turning on the water, you will experience resistance, because it's cold and unpleasant, but do not give up. After a few seconds, resistance will be replaced by confidence and satisfaction. Confidence is a consequence, not a cause.

Your actions change the way you see yourself and the world around you.
The more often you overcome your emotional blocks, the stronger you will become. You will begin to believe in yourself, because you have seen how everything works out for you. Your beliefs and self-esteem will change along with your bold deeds.*

Is it enough if you want to achieve something that you are ready to feel absurd, awful, surprising, funny and stupid on the way to your goal? Or would you rather stay safe and regret? The choice is yours.

• Believe yourself

There must necessarily be a moment when you stop worrying because of the opinions of others. Even because of the opinions of their heroes.

Only when you completely trust yourself and your ideas, you will be able to create something bold, honest and beautiful.

You will never be satisfied with yourself and your work unless you do what really inspires you. Your most honest work will always be your best work and, most likely, the most successful.
