I think all of us should have a list.
This list is about the things that can cheer us up when we are suddenly overwhelmed by negative emotions, such as anger, worries, sadness or stress.
In a rapidly moving world and people getting increasing connected, negative energy can flow to us quickly, even when the intent is not to influence anyone to be negative. Our loved ones could be sharing their fears or worries and it could easily rub onto you and make you feel insecure. On other occasions, the stress level from over-expectation can make you feel overwhelmed. When we are are stressed up, we can get angry very easily, even the slightest trigger can lead to a big reaction/ outburst.
Having a list stored somewhere in our phone, or in a place we can easily refer, or simply memorise it, is a proactive and preventive action. When we get suddenly overwhelmed by these negative emotions, the list will guide us on the things we can do to calm ourselves down and diffuse the negative emotions. It is only beneficial to us because negative emotions is bad for our physical and mental health.
So, go on and think of 5 things that will make you happy, or 5 things that you really enjoy doing. As long as it is non-destructive, go ahead and write them down, because it can come in very handy, when you suddenly need it.
