I want to share something personal: how I deal with negative emotions that weigh me down. You know the ones—stress, frustration, avoidance, and feeling closed off. When these emotions hit, they can really take a toll. But I’ve found that by tuning into my body and taking a few simple steps, I can release them.

Here’s what I’ve been doing:

1. Notice the tightness in your body when stress or frustration shows up.

2. Pause and observe your thoughts without trying to change them.

3. Show kindness to yourself—feeling this way is part of being human.

4. Breathe deeply and see if you can release some of the tension.

5. Move forward by taking a small step toward growth, even if it’s just a shift in mindset.
