ere　going　through　that　negativity？　Was　your　mind　cluttered　with　thoughts？　Or　was　it　paralyzed；　unable　to　think？

The　next　time　you　find　yourself　in　the　middle　of　a　very　stressful　time；　or　you　feel　angry　or　frustrated2；　stop。　Yes；　that’s　right；　stop。　Whatever　you’re　doing；　stop　and　sit　for　one　minute。　While　you’re　sitting　there；　pletely　immerse　yourself　in　the　negative　emotion。

Allow　that　emotion　to　consume　you。　Allow　yourself　one　minute　to　truly　feel　that　emotion。　Don’t　cheat　yourself　here。　Take　the　entire　minute—but　only　one　minute—to　do　nothing　else　but　feel　that　emotion。

When　the　minute　is　over；　ask　yourself；　“Am　I　willing　to　keep　holding　on　to　this　negative　emotion　as　I　go　through　the　rest　of　the　day？”。　最好的txt下載網

清理心靈空間（2）

Once　you’ve　allowed　yourself　to　be　totally　immersed3　in　the　emotion　and　really　feel　it；　you　will　be　surprised　to　find　that　the　emotion　clears　rather　quickly。

If　you　feel　you　need　to　hold　on　to　the　emotion　for　a　little　longer；　that　is　OK。　Allow　yourself　another　minute　to　feel　the　emotion。

When　you　feel　you’ve　had　enough　of　the　emotion；　ask　yourself　if　you’re　willing　to　carry　that　negativity　with　you　for　the　rest　of　the　day。　If　not；　take　a　deep　breath；　as　you　exhale4；　release　all　that　negativity　with　your　breath。

This　exercise　seems　simple—almost　too　simple。　But；　it　is　very　effective。　By　allowing　that　negative　emotion　the　space　to　be　truly　felt；　you　are　dealing　with　the　emotion　rather　than　stuffing　it　down　and　trying　not　to　feel　it。　You　are　actually　taking　away　the　power　of　the　emotion　by　giving　it　the　space　and　attention　it　needs。　When　you　immerse　yourself　in　the　emotion；　and　realize　that　it　is　only　emotion；　it　loses　its　control。　You　can　clear　your　head　and　proceed　with　your　task。
