Everyone gets upset over different things and has their own way of coping with it. This post is going to share what happens when I get upset and I'll be listing ways to handle it and ways it shouldn't be.
When I get upset, my mind thinks about how the situation will play out in the near future - possible worst case scenario. For me, writing helps. I write what happened, how I feel about it, and why I was upset over it. Then I feel like I have a lighter load on my shoulders.
Here are other ways to deal with being upset:
- be upset and cry if you want to, it's better to let it out than bottle it up
- DIY crafts
- listen to happy, upbeat music
- watch a feel-good movie (Disney movies are a prime example.)
- exercise
- pamper yourself
- read your favorite book
- talk about it with someone you trust
- sleep on it
Things you shouldn't do when you're upset:
- go on social media, it will be tempting to post about your situation
- drive
- speak before thinking
- self-harm (I know this one is tough for some people out there but try, beautiful.)
- take it out on someone else
- handle any sharp objects
- let it ruin your whole day
- slap/hit anything unless it's a punching bag
- throw your phone, likely to regret it
I hope this helps someone out there! Keep smiling and moving forward!
Peace. Love. Aloha.
