Taking Out Your Emotional Trash

We all have times when we cross over the line from that I-can’t-handle-one-more-thing moment to an all out emotional meltdown. Our melt down moments, however, do not all look alike. Some people tend to be forceful verbally or even physically. Other become sarcastic or make critical remarks. Maybe when you’re ticked off, you walk away and for the next couple of days give someone the silent treatment. Or perhaps you remain polite but withhold your affection, time, or attention.

It’s not that our emotions are unhealthy or dangerous – it’s what we do or don’t do with them that can create problems. If you want to experience less stress and more of the energy, peace and joy that comes when you get rid of potentially toxic feelings, Georgia can help you to:

Recognize your emotional garbage.
Handle life’s ups and downs more easily.
Identify when you are emotionally stuck so that you transform your hurt and pain into positive change.
Reduce destructive anxiety, fear, guilt, and shame.

We all have emotional trash, the question is what are you doing with yours?
