#Benefits Of Mixed Emotions

The fastest way to lose control? Pretend you don’t feel what you feel. When emotions stay unnamed, they don’t disappear. They mix together. They get heavier. They leak out sideways, snapping, overthinking, that tight feeling in your chest you can’t explain. Naming is different. “This is anger.” “This is sadness.” “This is anxiety.” It doesn’t make the feeling go away. It separates it. It makes it workable instead of overwhelming. One “jar” at a time. Instead of everything at once. And that clarity changes how you respond. ✨ Follow @mindfulwithnina along for more simple, grounded tools to work with your emotions Love, Nina ❤️

We try so hard to get rid of uncomfortable emotions. But notice this: the more we stir, the cloudier it gets. Allowing doesn’t mean liking it. It means giving it space to settle. #mindset

What you resist, persists.. We’ve been taught to “control” our emotions - push them down, ignore them, act like they’re not there. But suppressing emotions is like holding a balloon underwater. It takes constant effort, creates tension, and the moment you let go? It explodes back up even harder. When you allow emotions to exist without trying to control them, something shifts. You stop fighting yourself. The emotion can float, move through you, and eventually settle on its own. Next time you feel something uncomfortable, try this: Don’t push it away. Name it (“I’m feeling angry/sad/anxious”), feel where it lives in your body, and let it be there without needing to fix it or make it go away. Emotions aren’t problems to solve - they’re messages to listen to. ✨ Save this as your reminder to stop fighting what you feel. With love, Nina ♥️

One of the Lighthouse girls had a question regarding emotions that I thought would be worth sharing. She asked: “Do you have any recommendations for self-regulating emotions? I know it’s good to feel emotions deeply but how would you go about kindly managing strong ickier’ emotions like disgust, jealousy; anger etc. I answered: 1. Label it — “I am feeling _______.” 2. Locate it — “I can feel it in my stomach, there’s a tension in my chest.” 3. Breathe into it and sit with it. 4. Validate it — “It makes sense you’re feeling this way. It must be hard.” 5. Express it — Cry, scream, dance, talk, write, meditate, workout, anything that helps you to move the energy. 6. Don’t rush it. 7. Ask it — What is this emotion teaching me about myself and my current situation? What is it telling me I need? What thoughts created this feeling? Be curious rather than critical. Do you feel like you feel things so deeply but don’t know what to do with those emotions? Has people told you you’re too sensitive and so you now see having emotions as a negative thing? Do you try and be positive all the time and not allow yourself to feel anything other than happiness? If that’s the case, you’re not alone. Lighthouse is my group coaching program designed to help you understand yourself better so you can detach from unhelpful identities and step into who you authentically are. If this sounds like a bit of you, enrolments for the first round of 2025 are open now. Early bird prices are available for 6 more days. For more information, send me the word “Lighthouse”.

Ever been around someone who’s just brimming with positivity, and you can’t help but catch their good vibes? Or maybe you’ve spent time with someone who’s feeling down, and suddenly you find yourself feeling blue too? It’s like their emotions are contagious… Well, guess what? They actually are! This fascinating phenomenon is called “emotional contagion.” It’s when one person’s emotions and behaviors directly trigger similar emotions in others. And it’s all thanks to our mirror neurons, which are scattered across dispersed areas of the brain. We’re hard-wired for empathy. As a highly sensitive empath, I sometimes feel like a sponge, soaking up others’ emotions way too easily. But I’ve learned to see this sensitivity as a powerful form of social influence. Because while we can be affected by the emotions of those around us, they can be influenced by ours too. By choosing to show up as a happier, more positive, and optimistic version of ourselves, we can spread enthusiasm, optimism and hope to the people around us. They might even “catch” our state. So remember, you have the power to positively influence others simply by how you choose to show up, engage, and interact with them. Have you ever “caught” someone else’s emotions?

Here are some strategies that might help to overcome Emotional Numbness ⬇️ Emotional numbness can be difficult to deal with, but with time and the right approach, it's very possible to move past it. 1. Find the Cause:- Think about recent changes or past events that might be causing this. Talking to a therapist can help. 2. Practice Mindfulness:- Try meditation to tune into your feelings, even if they’re faint. Start small with just a few minutes daily. 3. Allow Emotions:- Give yourself permission to feel. Writing in a journal can be a safe way to let emotions surface. 4. Get Moving:- Exercise, like walking or yoga, can reconnect you to your body and boost your mood. 5. Seek Therapy:- Therapy can help you process emotions safely and guide you in healing. 6. Spend Time with Loved Ones:- Being around friends or family can help bring warmth and connection back. 7. Express Creatively:- Try art, writing, or music. Creativity can help bring hidden feelings to light. 8. Practice Basic Self-Care:- Keep up with simple routines like eating well, sleeping, and having structure. 9.

Your emotions are more powerful than you think. - Your brain and body can react to imagined stress like you are in actual danger. - Rejection can feel like physical pain. - Naming a feeling can calm your nervous system. -Sometimes you’re not reacting to a present situation, you are reacting to your past. - And your emotions can change the way you remember things.

👉👈 When we feel painful emotion the most natural human response is to pull away, escape them and avoid. We block them out with anything that feels safe and pleasurable. But when we do that, the painful emotions don’t always disappear forever. We find ourselves trapped in cycles of addictive behaviours that keep the emotion at bay for just a short time. The way we guide people to process painful emotion in therapy is to allow the emotion to be there, turn towards it and feel it, while soothing yourself through the process with skills that help you to tolerate the distress. This enables the emotion to take its natural course and wash over you. Emotions come in waves so we know they will increase in intensity, peak and then come back down again. 👉More on this in my No.1 Sunday Times Bestselling book, Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?

How to avoid this 👇🏽 I used to suppress my emotions all the time. It led to so many gut problems and a life threatening chronic illness. I wish I had known how to manage them earlier. Here are 5 little but effective ways to help; 1. Feel it to heal it. Give yourself 90 seconds to really sit in the mud with an emotion, no matter how uncomfortable 2. Write it out. This will help you understand what you are feeling 3. Use creative visualisation. Close your eyes and add a shape/colour to the emotion. See it get smaller and then open your eyes. This is a technique to feel and release an emotion 4. Move your body- especially if the emotion is quite high energy. Like anxiety or anger. I love to use dance to do this. I literally shake it off. 5. Accept it. This is the one people struggle the most with. Try not to judge yourself for feeling certain things. It’s normal and human. I used to judge myself alot for feeling jealous. So then I felt even more shame. It kept adding up in my body. No one talks about this side of emotions enough! But it is the foundation to your health and happiness. I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences in the comments. Maybe it could help someone else? 2 ways I can help: 1.

Sarvam Maya is one of those movies that feels like pure fun mixed with emotions. The story moves in a light and entertaining way, but at the same time it gives us that “life is unpredictable” feeling. The movie keeps a playful tone, and the scenes flow smoothly without making it boring. Now coming to the Nivin Pauly + delulu combo 😌😂—Nivin’s charm is the biggest highlight. His expressions, comedy timing, and that effortless vibe make every scene enjoyable. Some moments are so relatable that you’ll literally start imagining yourself as the main character (full delulu mode ON ✨). It’s the kind of movie where you laugh, feel emotional, and also get that “I can fix him / I can be her” fantasy mood 😭💗.
