Avoid bottling up your emotions as they may resurface in unhealthy ways from "summary" of How to Master Your Emotions by Luke J Hamilton
Bottling up your emotions can be like trying to contain a raging river with a flimsy dam. You may think you're keeping everything under control by hiding your feelings from yourself and others, but the truth is that these emotions will find a way to come out. Just like water will always find a way to break through a weak barrier, your emotions will eventually resurface - often in ways that are harmful to your mental and physical well-being.
When you push down your emotions and refuse to acknowledge them, you are essentially denying a fundamental part of yourself. Emotions are a natural and essential aspect of being human, and suppressing them only leads to internal conflict and turmoil. This internal conflict can manifest itself in various ways, such as increased stress, anxiety, depression, or even physical symptoms like headaches or stomach problems.
By avoiding the expression of your emotions, you are not only doing yourself a disservice but also setting yourself up for potential disaster. Just like a pressure cooker without a release valve, your emotions will build up over time until they explode in unpredictable and often destructive ways. This can lead to outbursts of anger, irrational behavior, or even self-destructive tendencies as a result of pent-up emotions that have not been properly dealt with.
It is essential to find healthy ways to process and express your emotions instead of bottling them up. This could involve talking to a trusted friend or therapist, journaling, engaging in physical activity, or practicing mindfulness techniques. By acknowledging and addressing your emotions in a constructive manner, you can prevent them from resurfacing in harmful ways and instead cultivate emotional resilience and well-being.
