STEP 6: SHARE
YOUR FEELINGS
Talking about your feelings, even briefly, can lighten the emotional load and help you see things more clearly. Sharing with someone you trust isn’t just about venting—it’s a powerful step toward understanding, healing, and finding perspective.
Use color codes to match emotional intensity.
Keep your feeling list visible or in a journal.
Review your list regularly and update it.
Ask: “What’s underneath this feeling?”.
The most common way many people release negative feelings is by talking about them or sharing them with someone they trust. You don’t have to go into great detail, just voicing out loud the thoughts that are troubling you will help dissipate some of their intensity and make it easier to gain a broader perspective.
Talking and understanding feelings and emotions is also one of the best ways to sort them out. Often, when we are angry or afraid, the problem seems bigger than it really is. By talking things over with someone who listens without judging us or becoming defensive, we can gain insight into how to resolve the situation effectively.
