This is one of my diagnoses. Negative feelings emerge because of lack exploration in one’s life.
Quite obviously then, the strategy to cope with negative feelings can be expressed in one just word: EXPLORE.
But let me go a little further. Because once you offer a strategy, the next obvious question is “How?”
How to explore?
One of the surest ways of exploring is STOP LOOKING INWARDS. Repeat that with me. STOP LOOKING INWARDS. In other words, STOP LOOKING AT YOURSELF. In other words, STOP LOOKING WITHIN YOURSELF. Shift your focus. Shift it outwards. Sit at bench in a good busy street. Watch others as they pass by. Look at their faces. If anyone or anything interests you, try to imagine their past, even their future.
How to explore?
Attempt various movements. Like moving for dancing. Moving for exercising. Moving your fingers over musical instruments to extract some tune of them. Moving to just go about your town, especially the places you’ve never been to.
