Starving Negative Emotions “8 Ways to Put Out the Fire”

When you deal with negative emotions you have a couple of basic choices: You can suppress them by keeping them buried inside ultimately making yourself sick. Or you can express your negativity to those closest to you and make them sick. For many people they think there's only two options. In other words, for most of the people you know, suppression and expression are the only tools in the emotional toolbox. “If the only tool you have is a hammer, then everything starts to look like a nail.”

According to Newberry, “to live a life of maximum joy, you must learn how to minimize the negative emotions so they will not dominate your life. For example, imagine covering a small campfire with a bucket of dirt. Instantly it is snuffed out. Now think about your mind set prior to smothering IT. First, you developed the desire to put out the fire out, probably because you were leaving the campground or going to sleep. Then you made the decision to do so. Finally, you acted. If your goal was to put out the fire, you would never think of throwing on another log or dousing it with gasoline.

Negative emotions work the same way. If you want to extinguish them, do it with positive, constructive thinking. It's important that you refuse to nourish those negative thoughts. In other words, let them starve, don't allow them to develop into a blazing inferno.

Tom Newberry points out eight ways we can put out the fire. Go get your toolbox, open it up and let's drop 8 new tools. Are you ready let's go!
