Tip: How to Deal with Negative Emotions/Sadness
I am 5 days into my manifesting routine (robotic affirmations throughout the day - just one affirmation each day. Each day is a different affirmation. Half are SP, half are SC).
It's day 6 and I woke up so sad, longing, missing my SP. I was tempted to text them but did not. I affirmed through the sadness. But the sadness remained, and made me doubt this whole thing. Should I persist? What if it doesn't come? I feel so BAD.
I decided I needed to relax against my feelings of sadness. Accept them. Release them. Below is what helped me today, and I'm hoping I can carry it on my manifestation journey.
- "Okay, I'm experiencing some sadness/missing SP wave."
- Sit with feeling in your body for up to 30 seconds without attaching story/meaning. Observe it.
- Deep slow breath. Watch it dissipate.
- Then carry on with day/ affirmations.
- If feelings linger: "Yep, some sadness is still here. Anyways..."
- Don't give meaning to feelings. It's simply a physical response. This is not failure, it's just your nervous system adjusting. You're experiencing a temporary feeling of sadness, there is no deeper meaning/story. This is not your identity. This does not mean you're failing/not getting your desire. It's just old feelings moving through and your nervous system adjusting and regulating.
