A few questions to ask when you’re experiencing difficult emotions that help me to feel x 10 better → ⁠

How are you feeling in your body? What physical warning signals are coming up? (e.g. tight chest, tense jaw)⁠
How are you feeling emotionally? What emotional warning signals are coming up? (e.g. feeling anger, confusion)⁠
How are you behaving? What behavioural warning signals are arising? (e.g. getting snappy, not focusing)⁠
What perspective do you have right now? (E.g. I’ll never get this done, I’m bad at ____, etc)⁠
Why do you feel like this? Why are you having these thoughts? Are you creating meaning when there is none?⁠
How can you shift the way you’re framing this event / feeling / thought? How might a friend look at this? How would someone who enjoys this experience look at it?⁠
What one action can I take or what change can I make right now to move forward?⁠
