Did you know you actually get to decide how long you will experience any emotion Although your initial reaction to an unpleasant sad or hurtful situation may be natural and perfectly understandable given your circumstances what you do with that emotion and how long you experience it is up to you. You can say “Yes I’m feeling depressed right now and plan to stay that way until tomorrow. Then I’ll get on with what has to be done in my life to change it.” Or you can decide to release it right away.
