So often people feel so overloaded they don\u2019t even know what they\u2019re feeling. All they know is that they\u2019re being \u201cattacked\u201d by all these negative emotions and feelings.
\nInstead of feeling overloaded, step back for a moment and ask yourself, \u201cWhat am I really feeling right now?\u201d If you think at first, \u201cI\u2019m feeling angry,\u201d begin to ask yourself, \u201cAm I really feeling angry? Or is it something else? Maybe what I\u2019m really feeling is hurt. Or I feel like I\u2019ve lost out on something.\u201d Realize that a feeling of hurt or a feeling of loss is not as intense as the feeling of anger. Just in taking a moment to identify what you\u2019re really feeling, and beginning to question your emotions, you may be able to lower the emotional intensity you\u2019re experiencing, and therefore deal with the situation much more quickly and easily.
\nIf, for example, you say, \u201cRight now I feel rejected,\u201d you might ask yourself, \u201cAm I feeling rejected, or am I feeling a sense of separation from a person I love? Am I feeling rejected, or am I feeling disappointed? Am I feeling rejected, or am I feeling a little uncomfortable?\u201d Remember the power of Transformational Vocabulary to immediately lower your intensity. Again, as you identify what you\u2019re really feeling, you can lower the intensity even more, which makes it much easier to learn from the emotion.
