Various feelings can inspire a person and give incredible strength, or they can drive into depression and have a destructive effect on his personality. Therefore, in some cases it is useful to learn how to "disable" them. This will allow you to withstand the blows of fate, heal many mental trauma, overcome difficult times, become stronger and wiser.
Instructions
Step 1
An old tried and tested remedy for mental pain is a couple of valerian pills or some sedative, followed by sleep. It relaxes well and dulls any feelings, but, of course, often resorting to the help of medications is not worth it.
Step 2
You can get rid of unnecessary emotions by engaging in intense physical labor or, in general, some kind of work that does not give an opportunity to give free rein to feelings.
Step 3
After a certain psychological training, you can always replace negative feelings with positive or at least neutral ones. Look out the window at an object or landscape and focus your attention on it. Consider the object and try to describe it in detail. If you are looking at an object, imagine what it feels and smell like, if you have a landscape in front of you, mentally create its holistic image. Imagine how nice it is to be in the shadow of the forest or to feel the breath of the wind on your face.
Step 4
Take a piece of paper and describe the situation that worried you. Try to do it as if from the side. Imagine that your close friend is writing this, and you are responding to him. After you have left all feelings on paper, re-read your letter again and burn it.
Step 5
Music can be a powerful help in removing negative feelings. Try to choose "your" melodies that can restore balance and calmness to you. It depends on your taste and perception. For some, the best will be the melodies of the Viennese classics Mozart or Haydn, for others - Beethoven, Liszt or, for example, Tchaikovsky.
Step 6
There is also the so-called psychedelic music, which affects the psyche of listeners, changing their perception of the world, but people perceive it ambiguously. Often these melodies are used in meditation - this is another way to learn how to disconnect from oppressive thoughts and feelings.
Step 7
If you are a believer, you can renounce the world with its unnecessary fuss and problems with the help of prayers.
Step 8
Try to turn off your feelings while interacting with other people. To do this, delve into the essence of the conversation as deeply as possible. Give your full attention to the topic of the conversation. Think only about this, try to make the subject of discussion the main thing in your mind.
Step 9
Try to replace all feelings dictated by emotions with more rational ones. Look for a way out of a difficult situation, determine your priorities. Convince yourself that your problems on a global scale are not important at all, which means that you should not "connect" your feelings to them.
Step 10
Study yoga to control your senses. Here is one of the breathing exercises borrowed from this system that allows you to find peace. Sit comfortably. Straighten up. Close your eyes. Concentrate on your breathing: it should become deep and even. Clench your fists and hold them in this position for a minute. Also try inhaling as deeply as possible several times, holding your breath briefly and then exhaling slowly.
