Just get it off your chest for peace of mind. It is very difficult for many people to speak up about their feelings. The most powerful way to neutralize negative emotions is to acknowledge them. In fact, when you honestly admit your feelings, you protect yourself from the flood of damaging stress hormones that these feelings produce in your body. Get it off your chest; clue people in if you are feeling disappointed, unhappy, or hurt about something.
Be honest when you convey your feelings, be kind when you criticize, and be positive when expressing your views. Once you acknowledge your feelings, they will be less likely to trouble you. Or you can hold your feelings inside, and you become a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at some minor incident – not a pretty picture for your long-term health! Own up to what’s in your heart and you will enjoy the benefits that come with peace of mind. I hope you take this advice and make honesty your policy!
