The Right Way to Distract Yourself from Negative Emotions

Don’t do this after an emotionally unpleasant experience:

⛔️ Open up Spotify, put Airpods in, go out for a walk.

Do this instead:

✅ Go out for a walk, 𝙤𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝟓 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙨, open up Spotify, put Airpods in—and enjoy.

By doing this you send a signal to your unconscious brain that you can feel anything.

You’re not running away from negative emotions by switching music on.

You are not repressing your emotions—you are accepting your emotions.

The more you practise this, the more unshakable you will feel.

Loving you, Angelos
