I Empower Myself

Another process of healing negative emotions is thru writing.  We write a letter to the person who wronged us.  It is not necessarily mean that we need to send the letter to the person. Our objective is we express the negative emotions so it will not be pushed down or repressed.  In writing the letter, we must express the feelings of anger, sadness, fear, regret and love. Process all these emotions. Vent them in a letter.

To start the letter writing, here are some lead-in phrases:

For Anger: I don’t like it … I feel frustrated…I am angry that… I feel annoyed… I want…
For Sadness:  I feel disappointed … I am sad that … I feel hurt … I wanted … I want…
For Fear:  I feel worried… I feel scared… I do not want… I need… I want…
For Regret:   I feel embarrassed … I am sorry … I feel ashamed … I didn’t want…
For Love:  I love … I want… I understand… I forgive… I appreciate… I thank you for… I know…

Why we need to process all these emotions?
Mere exploring a part of our feelings does not bring about desired healing. Feeling anger only will may make us more angry. The more we dwell on just anger, the more upset we will become.  Crying only may just leave us feeling empty and spent and sad.  To feel the fears will just make us feel more fearful.  Feeling sorry will just make us feel guilty and ashamed and/or harm our self-esteem. Trying to feel loving will force us to suppress or repress the negative emotions, and after a few years, we will become numb and unfeeling.
