Ask HN: How do you personally process bad emotions?
I never learned it properly so I'm looking for any and all tips.
The path that works for me is journaling. I start with naming my emotions and then what actions trigger those emotions and then what is the best/worst case, what can I do right now (options), pick best action item.
This process takes me from understanding my emotions to clear next action.
Unless I have a clear next action my mind can’t let go.
Do you have an example of what a "next action" could be?
