Emotion Management | 你甘愿成为情绪的俘虏吗？

人们在日常生活中总有或多或少的情绪，适量的发泄情绪是正常生活压力的一种释放。然而不知表达，过分压抑，让人往往在不知不觉中成为了情绪的俘虏。

Many people were never taught how to express their emotions. Here are some ways to express emotions.

1

认识到表达情绪的重要性

Recognize the importance of expressing emotions. Unexpressed emotions affect your life. For example, many people who struggle with ongoing depression or anxiety are often actually angry.If you want to take control over your emotional life, you need to first recognize that it is important to express your emotions.

不把情绪表达出来会影响到你的生活。比如，很多患有持续抑郁或焦虑状况的人实际上经常生气。如果你想控制自己的情绪，首先需要认识到把自己的情绪表达出来是很重要的。

2

识别出自己的情绪

Label your emotions appropriately. Many people who have never learned how to express their emotions have a difficult time even labeling what those emotions are. Some people might feel anger when the emotion that they are actually dealing with is pain.

很多从未学过表达情绪的人，连识别自己的情绪是什么都不能。有些人觉得自己在生气，但实际上TA的情绪是痛苦。要练习识别自己当前的情绪。

3

下定决心把情绪表达出来

Resolve to express your emotions as you have them. Emotions must be expressed. You can either express them as you have them or you can put a lot of energy into repressing them and just wind up having to deal with a more powerful version of your emotions later. Decide that you are going to express your emotions as you experience them.

情绪一定要表达出来。你可以一有情绪就把它们表达出来，也可以拿出很多精力来抑制它们，但这样不久后你就需要处理更强烈的情绪。所以你要做出决定，当你有情绪时就一定要表达出来。

要认识到情绪是短暂的

Recognize that emotions are transient.If you will express your emotions as you have them, they will not last. While you might feel incredibly angry at one moment, your anger will pass as long as you express it. Only repressed emotions linger for a very long time.

如果你一有情绪就表达出来，那它们就不会持久。某一刻你可能感到异常愤怒，但当你表达出来时、你的怒气就会消逝。只有压抑的情绪才会持续很长时间。

通过体育活动来发泄你的愤怒

Anger is best expressed physically, especially if you have a lot of repressed anger to process. Some good ways to express anger include punching pillows, hitting the ground with a baseball bat, popping balloons, taking a kickboxing class or going for a brisk walk.

愤怒最好通过体育活动来表达，尤其是当你有很多压抑的怒气要处理时。选择一项不会伤人伤己的体育活动，比如拍打枕头、用棒球杆撞地、弄破气球、参加拳击课或散步都是发泄怒气的好方式。

把痛苦放声哭出来

眼泪确实能治愈伤痕累累的心灵。然而，很多人都很难把悲伤之情表达出来。放声大哭后，你就会觉得好多了。
