Many people react strongly to various circumstances, but sometimes these events do not deserve such attention.
Sometimes you just have to touch a person on the raw, and the day is already a bad one. This problem can and should be fought.
In order not to lose control over your emotions and thoughts, it is worth adopting a simple technique.
Many psychologists recommend it. The method is simple and effective, so it is extremely useful as "first aid".
How to stop taking everything to heart
When someone or something upsets you, say to yourself, "Stop." Imagine that time has stopped around you.
You can even say phrases like “I’m dreaming this,” “this is fiction,” “I’m watching a movie,” or any other similar option.
This simple trick helps you move from a state where your feelings and thoughts revolve around something negative. This method allows you to turn from a participant in the process into an observer.
How it looks like in an example
Let's say you have a serious argument or quarrel with another person. At this point, many people find it difficult to contain their emotions, and their souls begin to "prick and cut."
At this point, you need to switch over and then start looking at the little things in your offender. For example, pay attention to facial expressions, gestures, hairstyle, eye color, etc.
By focusing on small details, a person helps himself not to fall into a state of stress.
Of course, it may not work the first time. But you can develop a habit that will be automatically activated over time.
